Samuel is an extremely helpful host, who is administering the upkeep of this apartment. It is clearly a very recent conversion to AirBnB and though it is a basic flat, that was reflected in the price (£25 per day in September). Nonetheless, every effort is made to keep it clean and the furniture is being upgraded. The kitchen is well-stocked with cutlery, crockery, glassware and pots & pans.
The apartment doesn't have AC but the ventilation and sun protection is very good and even when the temperature outside was in the 30 degrees Celsius range, the flat remained comfortable during the day and night.
Other pluses are the closeness to both Lidl and Pingo Doce supermarkets, and the bus that will take you to Sintra. The walk into the centre and the beaches is a comfortable 20 min walk for anyone who has no mobility issues.
A great budget option.
