Rita is a great host. She made herself available whenever I needed information. Her apartment is lovely. It is spacious and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is very thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need to prepare your own meals. She has taken great care to ensure your comfort. There is a very lovely small terrace off the kitchen which would no doubt have been very pleasant were it not January when I visited Sintra. All in all a wonderful place to stay and highly recommended.
