Read More...We enjoyed our stay in this charming and spacious apartment with three terraces all with views of the sea. It was warm and sunny the whole time we were in Cascais so we ate all our meals outside. Cascais is a great place to explore the coast - we found a great restaurant on the beach some distance away at Praia Grande Colares. Lisbon is a short train ride away and if you can cope with the crowds the Unesco Site of Sintra is worth visiting. We were given plenty of information about the shopping. There is a small but friendly supermarket at the bottom of the next block of flats and a bakery at the corner of the next street. We found the local market was good for fruit and vegetable. We really enjoyed our stay at this delightful apartment.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Lush landscaping surrounds this exquisitely updated 1940 home. Private front courtyard, covered back patio, luxurious pool with waterfalls, and more! Situated on a very quiet tree-lined residential street, with a wide variety of shopping and dining options within walking distance.
Sleeping arrangements: The house has two bedrooms (One King, One Four-poster Queen), and - if you need it - a convertible Queen Couch in the living room.
We are minutes away from both Warner Brothers and Universal Studios Tours, yet you can hear the birds sing in the afternoon, and crickets quietly chirping at night.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our street is 100% residential, with a recreational bike and pedestrian path and gardens at one end of the tree-lined block (Chandler Boulevard), and small boutique stores and restaurants at the other end (Magnolia Boulevard). It's a quiet neighborhood, yet within walking distance of downtown Burbank, with hundreds of restaurants, movie theaters, comedy clubs, live theater, shopping, and more. For some visuals of the neighborhood, Check out "A Tour of Burbank, CA" on YouTube.
Getting around
Just 10 minutes from the Burbank airport by taxi or rideshare, our home is only a 30-second walk to the famed Chandler Recreational Path (you could bike into North Hollywood, and catch the Red Line Metro to downtown LA)! Ample and safe street parking right in front of the house, and buses run all day on Magnolia, at the other end of our block.
