On the first day of my arrival in the evening around 6 pm. Manuela took me to the supermarket to get food and essentials. Then the next day, she offered to show me around Cascais. She took time out to get me acquainted with the city. I couldn't have asked for a better host.She was available on text and has accommodated my requests for the two weeks in her studio apartment. She even had a bottle of wine as a welcome gift. The weather did not permit me to make use of the little lawn in front of the house. If you are two people and looking out for nice cozy and quiet neighborhood. Do not hesitate.
However, if you want something in the city center then do check the location. It was perfect for us and our requirements.
