The center of Sintra is loaded with tourists and noisy Tuk Tuks. You would think being "centrally located" would be awful. But surprisingly, you take one turn and walk 100 feet down a cobble stone road and this unit is quiet and quaint. It's perfect. Izumi speaks perfect English and is very kind. The unit is perfectly appointed. Izumi stocked the unit with free coffee grounds, a bottle of red wine and loads of tour guide maps. Our stay was perfect.
