The apartment is exactly as pictured - extremely clean, beautifully decorated with amazing views of the palace, greenery, and ocean. We really appreciated the heaters, extra blankets, draft stoppers for the windows, and generous kitchen items including snacks, water, and even beer and shampoo for the bathrooms. I keep telling my husband that I left my heart in Sintra, so we will certainly return, and when we do, we will stay here without any hesitation! Highly recommended! Just a minor note - the apartment is on the 2nd floor, so please note there isn't an elevator which is challenging if you have heavy bags.
