Maria is a very welcoming host, the room is comfortable and clean, and the bathroom is next to it. She was happy for me to use the kitchen, she also gave me lots of advice about places. Her flat is away from the main tourist area of Sintra - for which I was very thankful; there are local shops and cafes which are much cheaper. Just outside the window, alongside the road, runs the little tram [Electrico de Sintra] which goes down to the coast, great fun to ride. Thanks for everything!
