We stayed here on our first couple of nights in Portugal. 15 minutes + 45 minutes by metro/train from the airport to Sintra, 5 minute tuk tuk from the train station to the apartment. You can walk to the train station in about 15 minutes, coming back is uphill. Walking through the neighborhood the other way you can get to a little park and further to shops and restaurants. We had everything we needed. The shower is good pressure. For us the bed was small (as we are around 6 ft tall) and firm. We found the apartment very comfortable and would definitely stay again.
