Isabel, the host, is kind, accommodating, and tries to help in any way she can. The room is as shown, homey, full of light and with the beautiful view of Sintra mountain, which can also be seen, along with the ocean, from the balcony upstairs. The bathroom is also very pleasant, clean, and close to the room. The neighborhood is lovely and quite and yet offers some very nice cafes and restaurant within walking distance, as well as some grocery stores. The center of Sintra is easily reached by foot (10-15 min down hill) or bus (the stop is 2 minutes from the house) and the road there is very green and beautiful, as is the whole area.
