It's a nice apartment within walking distance of the beach. The street itself is quiet with a supermarket and gym close by. The connections to Cascais and Lisbon are excellent because the train station is less than a 3 mins walk.
The interior is very homely and comfortable. All the usual facilities are available (except microwave) and we were able to use them with some experimentation (though some written instructions would have been appreciated). We especially appreciated the espresso machine and Bimy blender. The kitchen and bathroom were stocked with supplies for cooking, cleaning, hygiene, etc.
Communication with the owner was very smooth. She was helpful, friendly, and thoughtful - even provided us with organic vegetables and fruit from her community farm subscription. That said, she was 1.5 hours late to let us into the apartment. So we had to wait in a place completely unfamiliar to us with all our luggage in the middle of the night..
Although some things could have been better with our stay, we would still highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a calm stay that could include visiting the Portuguese beach often and traveling into Lisbon now and then.
