Maria was communicative and fast at responding. We stored our bags at the owner's hostel just a minute's walk away from the apartment where we were greeted by Antonio, who gave us coffee and tips for our stay in Sintra.
Once we came back from exploring the town, Antonio walked with us to the flat and gave us a very thorough apartment tour. The palace and Moorish Castle were a good walk up the mountain.
The flat itself is very well furnished and equipped, suitable for a couple or family.
