Sílvia was so helpful and welcoming, and gave lots of good advice for places to visit and eat. The room has a cool view over a residential neighbourhood, and I loved the scenery. It is easy to hear noises in other apartments, and I think there was a dog upstairs or downstairs that barked a bit. The room is close to the bathroom, and the kitchen has EVERYTHING, it is well kitted out and Sílvia was generous with her food supplies. The flat is less than a minute from Portela de Sintra train station, which is very convenient. It's a 12 minute walk to Sintra train station, up hill, or you can get the very quick train one stop.
