Maria’s place was a home away from home. Maria herself is incredibly sweet and hospitable. She made us cake and tea in the evening. She was very communicative. Her house was a great location - close enough to all the sites and an easy walk to Sintra-Vila, but far enough away that it was quiet and easy to find parking. Maria was very accommodating, letting us leave our bags all day after check out while we were sightseeing. Recommended!
