I have to admit I thought I was renting a place in Cascais cause airbnb doesn't give you location until you pay. But Monte Estoril is a cute, mellow, upscale town with cafes, but not a lot going on. You can walk to Cascais and take the bus to Sintra. Cascais has a lot of great restaurants and a great beach. The apartment is cute and is more spacious than than the photos show. Cause part of it is below ground level, parts like the hall way smell a little musty. It has great windows and views of trees. It is a relaxing place to stay. There are some noisy neighbors who seem to quiet down around 11 pm
