Catarina was a great host and her home was equally great! She welcomed me and gave me good restaurant and shop reccomandations. She also checked in on me during my stay to see if I needed anything. It's a very clean, studio like appartment. There is also great garden and pool that you share with the owners. Parede is a nice quiet village between Lisbon and Cascais with good connection to both cities (the train station is a couple minutes from Catarina's place). It is also a couple minutes away from the beach which is mostly rocky but there are patches of sand beaches.
I would greatly reccommend this place for travellers who are looking for something a little bit more laidback but who would still like to see the city.
