mixed experience. overall would not recommend unless improvements made. situable for a couple for a short trip.
negatives;
1) bathroom - extremely bad smell constantly from drains, mould on walls and ceiling, no way to ventilate bathroom as no windows or extractor fan (couldn't leave door open due to smell that wpuld circulate the rest of the apartment making it inhospitable) 2 cockroaches found during stay. this is the main reason I would not recommend staying here until these issues have been resolved. it has been raised privately with host.
2) no air conditioning - this is as advertised, however just to be aware there is only one small window that would not be sufficient to cool room in hot summer. a fan was provided.
3) others;
window shutter doesn't close all the way down to the bottom so gap of light at all times ( would need to be ok sleeping with light in room)
Smell in hallway of apartment building.
lack of shelving in bathroom at sink and mirror
Lack of mirrors in main room if bathroom not accessible
Doors closing loudly in apartment building .
positives ;
great location central, <5min walk to everything in central cascais
sufficiently equipped kitchen for self catering breakfast/lunch
comfortable bed
good use of space
additional items of benefit to tourists: adaptors, sun hat.
simple check in, all virtual, no need to meet host
located on quiet street with little outside noise at night.
