Summary:
The apartment is absolutely up to the standard. It is neat, cozy, well equipped and super clean. It is literally 2 minutes away from the beach and the shopping / restaurant street. Can get a bit noisy in the evening but this is no Ibiza and none of us had trouble sleeping (we stayed with our 6 & 8 year old children). Look no further, this is the place you want to stay at.
Bit longer version:
Arriving by car was not totally straight forward because the apartment is in the heart of the city and you can only reach it by going through tiny one-way streets. Nevertheless once you are there your host will welcome you at the door with a smile. We received a great summary of the things to do around but we also received the great booklet which is a home-made lonely planet of Cascais, definitely recommended for all to read.
We had more towels that we could use and more tools in the kitchen that I could name. Thanks to previous kind Airbnb-ers you have a complete beach arsenal at your disposal just open the door next to the bathroom. We have also added a kid’s fishing net (my son was not happy at all) and a blue beach tent to the collection, enjoy!
Things you might want to consider: There’s no airco in the apartment. We had no major heat wave during our stay and the apartment is in the shadow more or less all day. Consequently we had absolutely no problem but good to know. Also as I mentioned in the first paragraph it does get a little bit noisy in the evening. Again don’t think of Ibiza level of drunkards just people coming and going and chatting loud on the street. It’s a small price to pay for the great location of this apartment.
