Cozy Apartment with Patio near Carcavelos Beach

Excellent service. The apartment was homely, comfortable, and truly outstanding. We booked this apartment last minute (11pm) as our original host double booked our apartment leaving us stranded. Isabel, personally came out to the apartment in the middle of the night to settle us in. From the very beginning, the welcoming guide and the helpful information about accessing local and community services made our stay much easier. This was especially appreciated as I was staying in the area for a competition. I had a fantastic time and will definitely return. I will also be recommending this apartment to anyone visiting Lisbon as the train station is a 5 min walk away.

There was only one heater for the full apartment and would recommend the host does provide an additional heating outlet for each room.

It's a lovely apartment in a good location (really close to a train station and a walking distance to a great beach). The hosts are lovely and gave us lots of recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area.

The train was a bit louder than expected but it wasn't a big issue.

We liked the traditional older style of the apartment. It was close to rail transport, and a short walk to where our friends were staying. The apartment is very handy for the superb Carcavelos beach.

The apartment is in a street that runs parallel with the railway. Trains are frequent in both directions. It is a walk of about 400 metres to the nearest station which is also the nearest underpass to cross the tracks and walk to Carcavelos beach. Being negative, we did not think that the apartment lived up to its title as ‘cosy’. Functional, yes, comfortable bed , yes, but only one sofa, no easy chairs, and, in summer, no aircon.

Very welcoming and friendly host, great communication. Very well equipped. Nicely decorated etc. Good location for what we wanted. Mostly clean with a couple of important exceptions as noted.

The smell in particular. This ruined the stay for us and we seriously considered leaving before the end of the stay. All the bedding and most of the towels were musty. Our pyjamas smelt musty after leaving. That was the worst thing, but there were a couple of other notable things - there were a lot of tall weeds on the patio so it wasn't pleasant to use. The cooker dials had caked grease that was evident when you turned the dial for the gas.
