The apartment was great! Lina is the perfect host. You can read several of the other reviews about view, location and welcome items (fruit, wine, snacks) and they are all very correct. Everything you will need for a great stay is here. I do not know if other reviews covered the fact that a local grocery store, two pastry shops, a butcher shop and a nice restaurant are maybe 50 meters from the apartment building. A short walk, a few steps and across a street and all the basics are there. Another 100 meters and through an under the street walkway is the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. The walkway from the apartment area to Cascais along the beach is lined with restaurants and other places to have a coffee or glass of wine and watch the world and beach life go by. I think it is a great apartment for couples to enjoy the view and the area.
