Marta was an excellent host! Probably the best we’ve ever had in the two years we AirBnB. She was always available, considerate, very flexible and reactive, we couldn’t have asked for more. Greets you with a smile and some pasteis (Portuguese traditional pastries) and coffee and we left with a big smile as well.
The appartement itself is decorated with great taste and a definite personal touch. Light flows in, even with the rare grey day we had (only once) you open the blinds and windows. Great for couples or a small family. The building itself is not super recent but everything was super tidy (kitchen, floor, balcony and bathroom included). Having breakfast on the terrace while watching the boats leaving the bay was just a treat!
A few steps from the building a traditional little Portuguese cafe is also a great place to have breakfast or a sip of delicious coffee. Right in front there is a mini-supermarket shop with everything at hand that one might need for a week or a few days stay. I’d recommend using a car to connect between Lisbon and a bit around Cascais at least that’s how we did (but maybe public transports might be an option too). Don’t hesitate to ask Marta your way around the area: she’s always full of interesting ideas and resources.
In summary, fantastic stay in Cascais, and Lisbon area, all for a very honest price... As for the host, one could only hope to have more like Marta all over AirBnB.. For a weekend or longer: we WILL be back!
