Maria was by far the most welcoming of our hosts during our two-week vacation in Portugal. We stayed with her only for one night, but even though it was a short stay, she managed to find time to make us a delicious homemade vegetable soup that was waiting for us after a long day of exploring Sintra. She also gave us a delicious homemade quince marmalade that we enjoyed throughout our time in Portugal. The room itself was good, with access to our own bathroom. The apartment is a bit of walk from the main attractions, but in a nice area. We weren't able to drop off our bags before the posted check-in time because Maria was working, but she did kindly allow us to leave our bags later than the posted check-out time. She also gave us helpful tips about things to see in Sintra and elsewhere in Portugal. All in all, it was a wonderful and memorable stay. Would definitely recommend!
