We didn't get the chance to meet Michael (although he did make sure everything was ok through viber) but were made very welcome by his mother in law Isabel, we were especially grateful for the cake after travelling for most of the day! The apartment was as described, it had absolutely everything you need, was bright and nicely decorated, and the beds were very comfortable. The balcony was nice for having breakfast on in the morning. One of the best things was the apartment's location. Just under 10 minutes to walk to the railway station, a big supermarket, and the beaches. There were loads of restaurants nearby too and Cascais always had so much going on, day and night.
