We really enjoyed our stay in Parede. The apartment is close both to the beach and the center of town with the local shops. Public transport is close by too and you can easily get to Lisbon or Cascais (or other beaches along the coast) by train. The apartment is spacious (we were with the four of us, 2 adults and 2 children and we all could fit easily) and the kitchen is well equipped. Marlene has been very helpful with tips on how to get from and to the airport and very flexible on check-in an check-out times- thank you!
