Fernando thinks of everything. This place may not look like much on the outside, but this newly refurbished apartment was perfect for us in every way. It's very close to Portela de Sintra, the 2nd to last stop on the train and the real center of Sintra. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you might want or need and we didn't expect that. Most places might give you milk, but we got a lot more, including wine. Nice touch, Fernando. We can't say enough good things about this place.
And a tip for you if you're going to Cascais or a beach. We are used to taking public transportation while traveling, but the Scotturb bus company has quite the monopoly. If there's 2 or more of you, get a taxi or uber to the sites. The lines to buses can be quite long and the bus didn't stop at a designated bus stop in Sintra once. It took a long time to get to the Palace de Pena because of this. And thankfully, the gas powered Tuk Tuks should be banned by the end of 2017. What horrible pollution machines.
We took an Uber to Cascais from the apartment for 2 people and it only cost 2 Euro more than the bus, and we saved an hour each way! Sheesh.
