We loved Sintra and all the walking and magical gardens, castles and sights. We weren't in the apartment that much at all, as we were so busy. It was in a good location, we never took a taxi anywhere and the bedrooms were nice for sleeping, quiet. The hop on hop off bus 435 took us everwhere. The beds were a little hard for us older women with hip pain, so we had brought along extra foam in our suitcases that helped. The kitchen looked pretty well equipped, with a newer stove and a large fridge and lots of pots and pans znd cooking equipment but we didn't use it as the local restaurants are so good it would be a pity to miss out!
