This is a well equipped, 3 bedroom/2 bath apartment right in the center of Sintra. The entrance is off a narrow walkway/alleyway (though we did see a Smart car come out of it once!) very close to the main square. We were there in mid May so the summer heat had not begun - opening windows cooled the place off nicely and Sintra is in general cooler than Lisbon. There is much to do in this area and we had a car, but the problems with having a car in Sintra are it is hard to find parking (or it is costly) and the one way streets with cars parked in ever conceivable spot often make it hard to "squeeze" by. If i knew earlier what I have experienced now, I would take the train to Sintra, a taxi to the apartment, and use the good tourist bus system that travels to all the major sites in the Sintra region. In sum, this is a great apartment for 3 couples or a family of 4-6.
