We stayed at Maria José’s place only for one night during our trip to Sintra but it was a really good experience. Actually, it was the first time we stayed at a hostel and we had been a bit worried but everything was great. Antonio, Maria José’s husband, checked us in, showed us everything and answered all the questions we had. He is very friendly and helpful. The beds were quite comfortable, the room and the bathroom are clean and tidy. Oh, and there was nice breakfast which was included. Definitely recommend!
