Arriving with the train in Portela de Sintra, Sílvia was waiting for us at the station and we had a very short walk to the flat. She was very helpful and welcoming and had the delicate attention to leave home made jam and a bottle of water and cookies on a tray in the kitchen. The flat is well located, roomy, very clean, close to the city center or near to the historical places: we went to Palacio Nacional de Sintra walking which allow to visit , we also took the bus at the train station to Cascais (bus stop is at the train station, not the one directly in front of the flat). We had 1 supermarket within 5 minute walk. The flat was really clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay (2 adults and our 6 year old daughter) and we recommend this flat. I managed to get wifi with Fon over NOS (www.fon.com) as I'm a Fon member.
