Maria is very friendly. The apartment is ok. It is marias business to rent apartments in sintra. She has small company in sintra. It was also nice that we could leave our luggage in the apartment. It was clean but the furniture was partly old. The mattress was to old, and should be changed. The curtains were to thin. There was a street lamp shining directly into the sleeping room. There were also no firewood and we didn't know how to get some wood for the furnace.
