Maria is a super friendly host, and her flat is so neat and great for the value! It's about 20 mins' walk to all major tourist spots, and surrounded by supermarket, restaurants etc.. The most wonderful surprise - it's right next to the Sintra electric tram (only 3 Euro and runs at 10:30am and 2pm every day). The room is very spacious, clean, great day light with even a small balcony, most importantly, Maria is so kind to make sure if I have everything I need, what a caring host! A tip about how to find Maria's place: on Google map, search Vila Alda, when you are facing a white building, look to your right and see a small valley (on the left hand side of the train railway), walk inside and you will see 4-5 similar buildings. Look for the one with number 3, Maria's place is at 1st floor so no need to climb stairs, very easy.
