Overall: ★★★★★
My family (with three school-aged children) and Canadian godmother spent about a month in Heike's and Wolfgang's lovely townhouse apartment. It is well located, spacious, really beautifully decorated, and very well equipped. Three bathrooms (!), full kitchen (with both washer and dishwasher), comfortable beds and plenty of space for clothing and other personal belongings. Radiant heat upstairs and a fireplace on the main floor in the living room takes you comfortably through winter weathers and the private back yard and balconies are perfect for all sunny days. Loved the sunsets and ocean view too! Wifi is fast and reliable in the house and even in yard. Everything was clean and well organized.
The hosts are great and their hosting "help", the neighbour as well. Everyone fluent in English. We felt very welcome and really at home.
We highly recommend this AirBnB townhouse to travellers wanting to live among locals, have walking distance to grocery stores and beaches and to explore the Sintra area and some most fascinating towns nearby (like Mafra and Torres Vedras). Having a car isn't necessary, there is a bus connection both to Lisbon and Sintra, but to explore the backroads and the lesser known paths a car is plus. Check Specificrent (dot) com . Reliable, friendly and most convenient car rental service. Prices are fine too.
We were so sad to leave. Portugal is fantastic and staying in Heike's and Wolfgang's townhouse gave a true silver lining to our 2nd stay in Portugal.
We thank you for sharing your home with us. We truly wish we could have stayed *much* longer!
