The apartment was exactly as shown in the pictures. It is located in a lovely neighborhood, just an 8-minute walk from downtown Sesimbra and the beach. The view from the balcony was definitely the highlight of our stay.
The apartment was very clean and well-equipped with pots, pans, towels, and everything you would need for a two-week stay. It had everything we needed to feel at home during our stay. One of the things we appreciated most was the hand soap. We arrived late, so having hand soap and toilet paper available was a small touch that made a huge difference. It was a very comfortable place to stay, great for families and groups. The beds were comfortable, and the apartment felt spacious and had plenty of room for our family without feeling crowded. There is a supermarket about an 11-minute walk with everything you need.
There is a hill to walk down to the beach and back up to the apartment, which takes a little getting used to, but that's fairly common throughout Portugal. We got there by Uber, which made it easy to get around and visit Lisbon. I would recommend renting a car, especially if you plan to visit Lisbon frequently, as Uber costs can add up. However, you do not need a car while staying in Sesimbra, as everything you need is within walking distance. Overall, it's a perfect place for anyone looking to escape Lisbon while still remaining close enough to visit.
The beach was lovely, with plenty of restaurants and cafés along the waterfront. The apartment exceeded our expectations, and Denise was a wonderful host. She regularly checked in to see if we needed anything and made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. I would definitely return and stay at Denise's apartment again.
