Casa Isabela

Building was undergoing outside work and balconies were covered with tarps and scaffolding so views of ocean were blocked. Otherwise it was fine

good stay, everything ok

The apartment is lovely inside. The outside bldg looks a bit sketchy but don't be fooled, it's great inside. The pics made me think this was on the beach which it is not. But you can access beach easily. Right by train station which is convenient to go into EstorilCascais. Get off at the Sao Joa do Estoril station. I would definitely stay again.

This was our families first time in Portugal and we could not have picked a better place to stay! We were only a 5 minute walk from both the train station and the local grocery store which made the location very convenient. The property manager Katia was more helpful than we could have ever imagined. She met us at the apartment to give us the keys and surprised us with some supplies to get us started on our vacation since we arrived late in the evening after the stored were closed. She definitely went above and beyond our expectations. The apartment definitely met all the needs for our week long vacation complete with a kitchen stocked with all the appliances. The largest plus was the location, which was close to the beach and transportation make our daily excursions very manageable. We will definitely stay here again!

It's a great little apartment a five-minute walk from Sao Joao do Estoril train station with lots of light, one side faces east and the other one west with large windows. Everything worked and the beds were comfy. José, the property manager, was super helpful and gracious. The problem we had was with the cleanliness, esp. in the living area (dining room and living room). It looked like nobody had been in the unit for a long time, and there was dust everywhere (table, chairs and sofa). The two sofas are well past their heyday, they are stained and (honestly) pretty off-putting. I'm allergic to cats and to dust mites, and I went through two boxes of tissue while I was in here. We found cat hair on the coffee table and there were signs of a cat clawing the couches. There were three of us and we all sneezed much more than what we are used to, so this is a clear sign that the unit is in need of a good, deep scrubbing. Other than that, the place is really well equipped and nicely decorated, even cozy. Shame about those sofas and the dust.
