This flat is well located for the centre of Cascais and for the very good weekly fresh produce market, but be warned - it is a vertical walk down into the town and up again, via 115 steps (by actual count). So not for the unfit or the infirm. That's fair enough, but I do think it should be flagged for public attention. The flat itself was a dreadful disappointment. Mafaldo picked us up at Lisbon Airport, by arrangement, but I had to write to Air B&B to get a confirmation from her about this, and by then we had already paid the entire sum for our stay so couldn't move on to someone more responsive. (On the way back we took a taxi, which cost us a lot less.) It is certainly large , with good-sized rooms and a balcony with a table that seats six - but OMG it was not clean! The windows (which overlook a lovely pipeline, either sewage or oil, couldn't be sure, but it certainly is big, and a large parking lot ) have surely not been cleaned in this millennium. You literally cannot see through them when the sun is on them, which is a lot of the day as the flat is west-facing (and gets very hot in the afternoons.) The entire place is LONG overdue for an industrial-strength deep clean, and a LOT of maintenance work. Pretty much everything was broken, even the plastic colander in the kitchen. There are grubby hand marks on the walls, the skirtings are decaying, there are tides of dust under the rugs, and there are COCKROACHES - we were greeted by a large dead one our first morning - the window blinds are broken, and everything in the flat is sticky or greasy to the touch. There were very few cooking implements , and all the cooking equipment was of the cheapest and nastiest kind - lightweight aluminium pots, a horrible tacky frying pan, and not even a wooden spoon or salad bowl. The flat is woefully under-equipped - there were three coffee mugs (we later found another one which someone had put behind some plates), no teacups at all and only two wine glasses for a place that notionally sleeps six. (Though in the third bedroom, which is off the kitchen, there are two wooden bunk beds and a toxic chemical smell that I would not expect any child to sleep in, so maybe it is a four-person flat.) Curiously, there was a Nespresso-type coffee machine, but we didn't use it. There was absolutely nothing in the kitchen - no salt and pepper, no courtesy teabags, not a smidgeon of cooking oil, just three coffee pods for the coffee machine, only one tea towel which I laundered a LOT, no basic commodities of any kind. This is the first time I've experienced this level of unconcern in a place that earns its living by hosting others. The shower is just a hand-held one mounted...
