The check in process was very easy and the apartment is just as cute as it looks in the photos. The location is really great, right near everything. The kitchen has thoughtful touches -- a cutting board, spatula, and scissors. We had two problems during our stay: noise and smell. There was a lot of noise coming from the courtyard and through the pipes in the bathroom. Also, there was a terrible sewer smell most of the time. I think it comes up from the shower drain. We also smelled that smell in other places around Cascais and Lisbon, so it might be a bigger issue, but it was pretty bad in this apartment. I'm sensitive to odors and it almost ruined my stay. The owners sent over someone to try to fix it, and it helped a bit, but it was still a problem. But it was a cute space in a nice town. If they can fix the smell issue, I would stay again.
