The apartment was excellently located to access the beach, estoril and cascais and had some lovely decorative touches. It was by and large very clean. There is a lovely park and cafe down the road, a grocery shop mercería nearby and the beach is only a 5 min walk. However, most of the previous reviews did not mention how dark the apartment is (there are very few windows and they are covered with curtains/gated, so it’s fine if you plan to be out all the time but it’s not a place you would really want to hang out during the day if the weather is bad); it is not very fire-safe - there are no fire and carbon monoxide alarms and the windows are gated, meaning nowhere to escape if there was a fire. It was also quite loud - you are right on the road (it’s not very busy but you hear cars as they’re right by your front door) and we could hear everything in the apartment above - footsteps, conversations, and the dog barking/baby crying. This is a great place to stay if you are on a budget and want to get out and about and see cascais - but bear in mind that it’s not somewhere to relax and hang out.
