As only our second Airbnb stay, and our first time travelling with two young children (11 months and 3 years), we did not know what to really expect from our 2 night stay in Sintra. When we had booked, it was a brand new listing with no reviews, so we felt like taking a chance.

Patricia was an amazing host. She communicated often, provided us with all the baby amenities like a cot, tub, and feeding chair, and even let us know that she wasn't able to meet us at the train station when we arrived. Instead, she sent a friend, who was such a lovely and friendly lady - she walked us the quick 7-8 minutes from the train station to the home, and let us know about all the things nearby. The home was one of the nicest and unique places I have ever stayed at. It was spotless, designed in a beautiful and unique manner, and had an amazing layout. The beds were heavenly, the bathrooms felt like spas, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The little extra touches like robes, slippers, and wine were most appreciated! The home was a brief 10-15 minute walk to the historic distric and had a great cafe (Saudade) and restaurant (Apeadeiro) within a 2 minute walk. Although there was a mini-mart nearby, the closest large grocery store was a 20-25 minute trek away.

We loved our stay and would definitely return if we had the opportunity. Everyone visiting in Sintra must stay here!
