The appartment is a good base to explore Sintra. Straight out of the front door, you enter the old quarter opposit the National Palace of Sintra, which has lots of cafes and shops and transport connections to all the sites. You really dont need a car during the stay and you can avoid any parking worries. The apartment is not large but has everything that up to 4 people might need. It does have a full length window that allows you to sit in the lounge area looking out over the Sintra palace. Special mention and thanks to our hosts who helped us out greatly after some mishaps and went way beyond what they needed to do.
