The apartment of Nadia and Luis is very nicely arranged and well designed. Nadia and Luis are very friendly people and helped us immadiately in case of a problem. The surrounding area is a quiet residential area. There are two mini-supermarkets close to the house. One thing to mention is that you better should have a car if you go to Murches. We always took the bus but because there are no timetables at the bus stops it is sometimes a bit tricky. But this is not the fault of our nice hosts :-) The beaches in the surrounding area are beautiful and there is one bus which drives directly to Sintra and goes through a impressive nature reserve (Bus 403) - you should take this one!
