We really enjoyed our two week stay at Maria's Garden Annex. The apartment is very well decorated and very clean. Marie took exceptional care of us - she was always available for questions, suggestions, and even dropped off fresh baked goods a few times...so tasty! The apartment looks as it does in the photos, with plenty of comfy sitting space, a large table, and a loft bed. It is worth noting the loft access is through a short but rather steep stairs. While there is not a full kitchen, there is an electric kettle, a toaster, a Nesspresso maker, and a small fridge, as well as plenty of plates, bowls, cups, and silverware. The bathroom is small but very clean, with enough hot water for a good shower.

The location is very good, with a short drive to Cascais, Sintra, or Lisbon. Even on very warm days, a nice breeze keeps things from getting too hot. The apartment is very safe, in a completely fenced yard with remote gate access.

Worth noting - we were not able to access the WiFi from the house. Maria provided a wireless 3G card with a small balance. We then went to the mall to the TMN store to add more hours of access time, and that worked very well.

This apartment is a good price for the area and Maria is a great host - recommended.
