We stayed at Philippe's place in Sintra for two nights. The apartment is very nicely furnished in an eclectic cozy style, with both modern, retro and rustic details. The location is close to the main road, but far away as to be quiet at night. Some noise from people leaving the bar next door, but not too late. The historic sites are within walking distance (15-20 min), if you don't mind the incline. Philippe is an excellent host, very responsive and flexible. Thanks to good information from him we were able to eat, drink and see the sights in a very satisfying way. We would definitely stay here again!
