This was a perfect place for our visit to Sintra. It gives us the possibility to start your visit without a (big) travel which safe us time and energy. But be aware, you stay in Sintra , nothing is flat so to go somewhere you need to walk. Quinta da Regaleira was very nice by walk, The Castelo dos Mouros and Palácio da Pena where a bit bigger challenge, but ofcourse you could also take a bus or a tuktuk. If you come over by car, parking will be a thing, especially when you arrive during the day.
Further it’s a basic stay, but everything you need to recover from the walks and impressions is there. We like the basic kitchen and the pressure of the shower, but be aware for a little flooding if you shower too long. And there is a smell, especially when you enter the house.
