We stayed for four months at the apartment with our cat, when we arrived it was much bigger than we expected! So that was nice surprise. We had a great four months living there. The area is very nice and safe. We had some noise issues with the upper neighbour, they are quite loud. But during covid we all have to be understanding I'd say. The residents in the building are very friendly.
We were working remotely due to COVID and the internet was stable, but for lot’s of video calls it was a bit too slow. But it was sufficient speed for streaming Netflix without problems etc. It has an amazing view from both balconies, at night you can enjoy the sound of the ocean waves.
Zanda welcomed us to the apartment and has been really helpful throughout our stay. Monika was also available and quick to to reply with any questions we had. Portugal had a harsh winter this year, and the fireplace isn’t working unfortunately, but we had a gas heater available. The heater wasn’t sufficient to warm up the whole apartment, but when we told Monika about this problem she instantly responded that we can have a second heater which really helped!
The bed is really comfortable, but its in an area of the living room, so its not an extra bedroom. The shutters didnt work, so I woke up with every sunrise. The view made it worth it tho!
The apartment has everything you’ll need for a short or long stay, the bathroom was nice with bath tub. Kitchen etc. well equipped :). There’s a mini market nearby with really friendly people, the Auchan on walking distance which has about everything. The beach of Estoril and train station just minutes walk downhill and also easy to reach Cascais from the boulevard or explore busy Lisbon by train and return to a comfy apartment :)
Oh yeah a little further walk, or short drive, we highly recommend the Pastaleria Bonjour! Best pastel de natas we’ve had in PT so far and bread (Pão Caseiro) 😊
