Ana’s apartment is so close to main tourist areas. It’s not far from the train station, but Sintra is all up and down hills and tiny roads, so I took an Uber. Ana said they should drop me at the apartment, but the driver refused. Something to keep in mind so you can get there well if you have a lot of bags. It’s very safe in the area, lots of restaurants. Ana suggested a fantastic vegan restaurant her neighbor runs. The apartment is a studio. It’s up two flights of stairs and the stairs are small- my whole foot didn’t fit on it. I just had to be extra careful on them. It’s a good size apartment for just me or maybe one other person. I couldn’t get the bathroom door to close completely, so if you’re with another person that’s something to consider. I think she’s getting some things fixed. The shower kind of sprays so water gets all over the floor. Extra towels weren’t available, but those would help with the water spill. There’s a mop and that helped. She has most everything you’d need in the kitchen and a big fridge/freezer. I didn’t use the tv. The bed is very comfortable. Definitely wear your walking shoes in Sintra because all those palaces and castles are up on big hills. Buses are nearby and tuktuks, and Uber is really affordable there, but you’ll still be doing lots of walking. I’m August it was crowded everywhere, but I still enjoyed all the beauty. Ana was a great host and nice to talk to. I HIGHLY recommend staying here!
