Lisa's family property and the 1st floor apartment we stayed at (note, it's on the 2nd floor by US standards) were incredible. Every small detail was thought about, both in the design of the apartment as well as the welcoming of our host. The apartment itself was incredibly clean, quiet, and filled with natural light coming from the standing balconies that opened to the most stunning views from Sintra to the coastline. The location was easy walking distance to explore the old downtown and from the train station - though dragging a rolling suitcase is a bad idea and we'd recommend you hire a tuk tuk or taxi upon checking in. Overall, Lisa's apartment is one of those places that you wish you could call home!
