This is very convenient place to stay. As for the location, I was fully aware that it is a bit away from Lisbon but we rented a car so it was no problem to get there. From this place you can reach Sintra very easily as well as other very interesting places such as Obidos, Alcobaca, Batalha, Tomar and, obviously, Fatima.
Stephanie's apartment is comfortable and has all indispensable facilities, with, practically, five rooms. Also very close to markets. Besides, when you live here temporarily, you may feel for a awhile as if you are a part of Portuguese society and this is what I like the most about renting the apartments owned by the nationals. They are real, not like emotionless hotels.
I liked this place very much and truly recommend it. An excellent base for touring. Yet, without a car, it is quite difficult to take advantage of it. And you should be aware of it.
With best regards
