The apartment was pristine, gleaming white and a beautiful, calm space where to rest and recuperate after sightseeing busy Sintra. We loved how spacious it felt with high ceilings, a big bathroom, minimalist decoration, extremely comfortable beds, and nice features like the indoor green shutters. The location a few minutes from the train station is ideal as this is where the buses and taxis leave to go to the different sites . The walk to the historic center is short and pleasant. We enjoyed the restaurant recommendations, and only regret we did not spend more days as Sintra deserves time to see it all. We loved the Castelo dos Mouros and the Quinta da Regaleira, but we would not recommend the Palacio da Pena. Even with a timed ticket, the line was horribly long (and misleading, because it is only to see the interior, which was not worth the wait, and not enjoyable because overly crowded). This is the most visited monument in Portugal, and we were there during high seacon in June, but we felt it is better and more beautiful at a distance. The apartment helped us recover from all the crowd!
