We spent a great month in Cristina’s house. The location is perfect with a nice beach just across the street, nice restaurants in the area and Estoril is close by Cascais, Sintra, Lisbon for visits with a metro station 5min from the house.
The house is well decorated, very functional, fresh (which is great in summer). The terrasse is awesome and we slept very well (the train was not an issue for us).
We’ve had some minor problems (washing machine not working, and one of the set of keys of the front door was not working) and the response to those issues was not at the level we expected:
- we had to deal with 3 co-hosts and explain several time the same story to different people
- After 3 visits of the technician to fix the washing machine in the first couple weeks, we have been told not to use the washing machine or to leave the house if we were not happy (while before booking we checked with the host by PM that a washing machine was available as we were staying 1 month in the apartment). Finally we stayed in the appartement and hand-cleaned our clothes, can Cristina gave us some extra bedsheets and towels.
Apart of those issues the experience was good and we will recommend Cristina’s place to our friends, and would like to come back to her appartement for our next visit to Portugal.
