this is a lovely apartment, in a really authentic, residential area that is quiet and relaxed. the apartment is as described, if not better. the views are fantastic, the room is spacy, and comfortable, and the host will do their utmost to help you. the supermarket is extremely close (1m walk), there is a park near (3m walk) with volleyball courts, and the skatepark 3m also. train station is about five minutes away and will connect you with both Lisbon central and/or Cascais. the beach is about 15 mins walk (though a slight hill), but Ubers are very cheap and about 3 euro down to the beach. we were worried about the apartment being hot as there is no a/c, but the blackout blinds keep the light out when required, and the apartment stays cool and breezy when the windows are open. the swimming pool is also really nice, with a low chlorine content, though it's a pity as when we were there it was only the main pool available (June 2022). the pool has shallow (1metre), deep (2metre) and a diving area (3metre), but isn't that toddler friendly. it is however, very clean. a couple of things that would really help in the apartment would be a high chair for toddlers, an iron and a hair dryer, as they aren't there. we were able to buy a mini potty in the supermarket nearby for 2 euro, which was handy. our toddler loved the view out the window and would spend ages just looking out and pointing out cars/vans/buses/trains/boats, motorcycles, etc. it's really a lovely view, especially when the sailing boats are in full view. the windows are safe for toddlers, but ages 5+ would need to be watched as the apartment is high, and the windows slide open wide. all in all, we had a lovely stay here, and for the price, this is an absolute gem.
