We arrived at Estoril and walked to the apartment from the train station which only took about 5min. When we arrived and saw the apartment we were not so impressed as it was directly on the main road to cascais. We really hoped that the inside was going to be nice.... Then... We were greeted by Jose Alexander's mother who was super nice and helpful and also their Neighbour Timul, who was also super friendly and as a local gave lots of great tips. They showed us around the apartment and we fell in love with the place! Despite being on the main road we didn't hear any noise and it was literally a 10min walk to the beach and a 30min walk along the beautiful promenade on the beaches to cascais. The apartment has been beautifully renovated and comes with all the modern facilities. Great bathroom, beautiful bedroom with extremely comfy bed with a walk in closet and a small terrace out the back. Comes with a little washing room equipped with washing machine which is great if staying for longer than a couple of days. A fully equipped kitchen with huge fridge, induction stove with oven, dishwasher and was fully equipped with cooking utensils and everything you might need. The kitchen led into a very nicely decorated living room with digital tv, dining table, foldout sofa.
Everything was extremely well cleaned and organised.
Even when we had a small problem with a hot water tap Jose Alexandre contacted a local plumber to come and fix it (on a Sunday night). This apartment is hosted by someone who obviously really cares about the place and Their guests. Jose Alexandre, his mother and Neighbour were very easy to communicate with and were very quick to respond to any questions or queries that we had.
For us it actually felt like a home away from home! We would definitely recommend.
