We had a nice time here. We visited several Airbnb's in the area on our trip, and this neighborhood was quite possibly our favorite. Yes, it's on a hill, but that's part of the charm (and evidence this place is in *Monte* Estoril) and also why the main draw of this apartment is what it is — that amazing balcony view.
As a result of this stay, if we were going to live in the Cascais region full-time, we would seriously consider the Monte Estoril neighborhood, as it is both quiet and charming, and conveniently located to everything. There was a small neighborhood feel to the few nearby places like little stores and restaurants. This is a place were people *live*.
Back to the apartment: On that aforementioned balcony are chairs that have seen waaay better days, and there are other upgrades that should be made in the unit. We also wish the supplies like toilet paper, shampoo, and hand soap were more plentiful, and in general the place could be spruced up a bit. That being said, the listing photos do not lie! The layout of the place is nice, and feeling a bit of a fresh breeze on the balcony while it was hot downstairs was a delight, and we could never get over that view.
We always search through Airbnb reviews that confirm whether or not the wi-fi works, so let us say that yes, it worked just fine — no problems!
We also liked Cassie who provided welcoming warmth, and appreciated her accommodating us with an earlier check-in.
