It was wonderful staying at Isabel's house. I appreciated the calm surroundings and exquisit restaurants of San Pedro, a residential area of Sintra, situated halfway between the city center and the mountain palaces – perfect if you enjoy a spectacular view on the sea from the terrace as well as a walk in the mountains of Sintra. You don't even need a car or go by bus. Isabel is a remarkable and well traveled person and not just opens her house to you but truly invites you to share it with her wherever you come from. All the other guests were lovely people too. The room itself was perfect and even more beautiful than in the pictures – the bed super comfortable, the WIFI connection strong and the desk spacious enough to set up a temporary working environment. The only thing that you should be aware of when considering Isabel's house for your stay is that you should be comfortable with dogs in the house.
