Maria is an exceptional host! Kindly offered to pick us up at the train station, which was a wonderful gesture. Maria's apartment has a great view and is very comfortable. She's located a 10-15 minute walk from the city centre, and 8 minutes from an amazing Mercado which was convenient for exploring the city and its surroundings. My only complaint, and granted we were there around New Years is that the above neighbour partied until past 1:00 am every night we were there. Can't choose your neighbours unfortunately. Enjoy Cascais, it's a great place to visit.
