We stayed at Christiane's place in September, and it was the perfect choice for us. The apartment is beautifully decorated, homely and well-appointed. The view was a particularly lovely feature - we spent our evenings looking straight out across at Sintra National Palace. For those interested, parking is perfectly possible, you just have to find a spot in one of the streets nearby. Once you understand the one way system it's not so hard. Christiane was delightful, responsive and understanding. Burghard who helps to manage the property was excellent company, and very knowledgable about the local area. 100% recommend!!
