Elvira’s apartment is spacious, with lots of light and a beautiful view, tastefully decorated and immaculately clean. It is located in a large residential area with a fruit & vegetables shop and a bakery downstairs, plus a small supermarket within a 10 mn walk. It is equipped with everything you will need to cook and feel at home indeed. It’s better for guests with a car since walking to the Cascais marina takes about 40 mn, but you can use free city bikes and rent 125 cc scooters and bikes at the nearby Casa da Guida. Elvira’s niece Rita kindly picked me up at the Cascais train station and drove me to the apartment, then kept in touch with me during my stay. She was understanding and flexible with my arrival and departure dates and booked a taxi for me to go back. I had a very pleasant stay there and I definitely recommend it.
