we absolutely loved Rui's place. firstly I want to thank Rui so much for helping us with the check in. we were delayed as we missed our train and then we were impacted with rail strikes, which meant we arrived too late to meet Rui, however Rui's dad very kindly helped us check in and he showed us where everything was and how it worked. the apartment was perfect for us with everything we needed, including heating for cold evenings, wonderful bedding, a full kitchen and a fantastic shee shower. the place is ideally located for the train station and fit exploring Sintra and the palaces. there are some great restaurants and cafes in walking distance and Rui kindly sent us a list of recommended places. we wished we could have stayed longer!!! thank you so much.
