Maria was quick to respond and allowed us to check in early after some travel troubles. Her place is in a quiet residential area, with many restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores nearby as her place is in between two metro spots each 7-10 minutes away. Though her place is on the 4th floor with no lift, inside is very comfortable especially the bed and her living room space. If you’re looking to go to Sintra the train line is very close by as well. She took time to show us places on the map and teach us some Portuguese too. I recommend her place. Great value!
