This apartment is not on a through street which means you will not have traffic whizzing by. I stayed for one week and thought the studio is perfect for one; however, the bed and closet space are large enough for two. The exterior and interior light is nice. Everything functioned as expected. You have a short walk to a tourism office where you can arrange for monument tickets and begin walking Sintra Mt. A very sweet German Shepherd resides on the property. She barks at passerbys but seems to be very gentle. She is fenced off from the pedestrian areas that you travel at the apartment.
