Clean, tastefully decorated and well equipped with dishwasher, coffee machine, washing machine, microwave and TV. If you want to cook the kitchen is well equipped with pans etc., a gas hob and a fan oven. Lots of space to unpack with large wardrobes and drawers in both bedrooms. One has a double bed, the other what is probably a queen size bed (huge!). Matresses are quite firm. The balcony overlooks the surrounding area and sea, cooler in the morning but sunny and warm in the evening. The lack of air conditioning turns out not to be a problem as the breeze from the sea keeps the temperature down perfectly. Owners were delightful, fitting in around our delayed flight and being available to show us around the apartment as well as providing tips on the best eateries and supermarkets in the area. As a base for exploring the area it is quite well placed. An Uber to the centre of Cascais costs around €3 at the time of writing and can be with you literally within 1 or 2 minutes of requesting. A walk into Cascais takes around 25 minutes. A train from there to Lisbon takes about 35 minutes and costs around €1.90 single. An Uber to Sintra cost about €15. On this basis I didn't bother renting a car and avoided a lot of hassle! There's a local supermarket about five minutes walk down the road along with a bakery which will cater for most day to day needs. If you want a larger shop a branch of Lidl is around 15 mins walk away. The apartment block itself feels secure and modern with two elevators and a car park with remote operated door. There was very little noise during our stay - garbage trucks at 1am seem to be a feature but didn't really prevent a good night's sleep. Overall this is more than we'd normally spend on an apartment but I feel it was justified given the quality of the accomodation and the attentive hosts. A very enjoyable and relaxing holiday.
