This apartment is hard to review on its own merits because Claudio was such an excellent host. He graciously offered to pick me up from the Cascais train station, then drove me around town, pointing out all the sights and instructing me about where to go. He is a consummate airbnb professional - towels and bedding are nicely laid out, there are two laminated maps with all the landmarks very well displayed, and an info sheet about pretty much everything in the city and in the apartment. There is nothing wrong with the apartment at all - it's just that, as other reviewers have noted, it's a bit of a walk from the center and you're not as close to the beach (I.e. the view is pretty, but you mostly just see rooftops, not the ocean) as it seems like it would be. One thing you should definitely note, if wifi is important to you, that he charges 15€ for it and it has extremely limited capabilities. You can check your email and do some text messaging, but downloading even a short news podcast will take about 1.5 hours. Also the shower runs out of hot water after about 6 minutes. If wifi is not important, and if you enjoy walking and don't mind not being able to cook gourmet meals, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with this clean, large, tastefully decorated studio. Also there are two groceries - one below the building and one at the BP station. The BP station grocery is much better, cleaner, had more variety and is a bit cheaper.
