If you want to get the real, non touristy experience of staying in Portugal, this place is for you. Although situated perfectly in between touristy Sintra & Cascais, the neighborhood itself is filled with lovely, regular folk and after a short while, it begins to feel like home. I will say that the ceilings are on the low side so if you are above 6 ft tall, I would take that into consideration. However, everything you need has been thought of and the hosts were extreamly patient listening to our 6 month old "cry it out". Definately a must stay!
