I'm 100% certain you'll be happy you decided to stay at Maria's place. I stayed there for an extended period and it was fantastic. The place is super clean with fast internet, a nice shower, comfortable bed and a cozy kitchen. And the area itself (Monte Estoril/Cascais) is spectacular! So many wonderful places to visit (restaurants, cafes, museums, shopping, etc) and a short walk to the beach! So many beautiful buildings and scenery. Maria is also very easy to communicate with (we spoke in English) and is very helpful with getting to know the surrounding area to make the most of your stay. She also has A+ communication via text or call when needed. I'm already planning on using her place again and if Cascais is your destination then you'll truly love staying at this apartment too. Enjoy!!
