This place falls in the categories of, "You get what you pay for" and "What you see is not always what you get." First the Pros
Close to everything Cascais has to offer, good big supermarket, outdoor market several days a week, beach is in walking distance. Spacious place and pretty clean, except for a major tiny ant problem. Kitchen is workable and well equipped. Washer and dryer is a great addition. Bathrooms were clean and the water pressure and hot water was great.
Now the Cons
Major ant problem upon check in. All bathrooms, kitchen, and even in some of the beds. I bought a spray and they were mostly gone by day 3. Dish washer does not work properly. Don't be fooled, there is AC only in the bunk bedroom and it strains to keep up in 28-30 degree weather. The other bedrooms can be stifling, the ventilation is poor. Need some fans at least. The view off the balcony is not the Riviera, I'll tell you that. Large water main of sewer pipe runs alongside the property. Hillside with abandoned building covered in graffiti across the way and what we surmised (as a joke, but who knows?) meth addicts inhabit the area until 4-5 AM and they are very noisy, especially since you have to leave the windows open to breathe. The final insult was that the water went off altogether in the afternoon of our last day due to construction in the street and the landlord could not say when it would come back on. No ability to shower, cook or flush, so we moved out to a hotel at further expense to us.
Remember, you get what you pay for and things are not always as they appear.
