We loved our stay here. The place was just as advertised... looked just as we expected, only it was even closer to the center of tow than we expected (a 30 second walk). It's a perfect place to stay if you want a few days in Sintra to explore, take rest stops back at the house, explore some more, and hit all the restaurants. Best of all, Izumi went out of her way to welcome us, greet us, provide information, and answered a lot of our questions.
