I felt I was home away from home. Maria is such a wonderful host. She knows everything we would need, so we didn't have to worry about anything. We were checking in before she got home, so she set up for us to pick up keys in the neighboirhood. Plus, although It was a very cold night outside, there was a heater and plenty of blankets so I had a very good sleep feeling warm. We even had a very nice talk over a cup of tea and biscuits she offered us. We felt so welcomed. Maria's place is very special because she takes care of her guests with warm heart. If I go to Sintra again, I definitely want to stay at Maria's.
