Alda is a nice friendly host. Was easy to talk to in portugues and English. Her appartment was lovely and spacious, which my 1 year old greadaughter loved running around. Lovely balcony. Had eveything you needed in the appartment, washing machine, shower & bath, iron &much more. There was also a private pool. Little one for children & one for adults. Which is also good. The appartment is in good location, bus stop outside the appartment. Lovely resturants close by and overlooking the sea. A small supermarket and a great bakery down the road, 5mins. Does lovely fresh bread and cakes.. there is also lidl about 10 mins away. Very easy to get to cascais centre. Bus or walk by the sea front. Lovely views. I went with my family and we loved everything about.
