We loved our stay!
Five great things about this apartment;
Cascais was an unexpected gem and this apartment is brilliantly located for the beautiful centre, restaurants, town beaches and supermarket.
The apartment is well appointed, to have squeezed so much in, in a small space shows clever design.
The air con is great!
The apartment is modern and stylish and lovely & clean.
Great to have the roof terrace (although read on for more information)
Five things we didn’t like;
The roof terrace feels like a building site - dirty, poorly equipped, looks nothing like the photo, the bbq was inside the building and we were told at check in that it did not work.
The bed is hard and has poly cotton bed linen (it’s ok, but might not be your thing!)
Apart from the kitchen, the apartment is very dark - not like the photos
The kitchen needs better equipment - no kettle as stated in the details, a broken corkscrew, very badly cracked glass bowl which shattered when I put food in it and had to throw our dinner away, only two awful novelty mugs.
The check in was very perfunctory and swift. We would have liked to ask questions about Cascais and to be given a map but Sharif couldn’t wait to get out! We didn’t receive a hard copy or electronic version of the guide (as promised in the details) Although Abu was swift to respond on text (ie when we asked about a new corkscrew and reported the damaged glass bowl) he did nothing to replace.
Overall, we had a fabulous stay. It would take very little to make small improvements to the apartment and terrace which would enhance the experience, make it value for money and elevate it to the five stars it deserves.
