What a perfect central location to explore the amazing town of Sintra and all the special places in it. As mentioned by others driving in town and parking was a nightmare but we had no other options. We certainly recommend that you do not bring a car unless you have to. The free parking spots mentioned below the building (that we anticipated parking at) were blocked off with garden plant boxes and unavailable so that was a bit frustrating. The amenities and features of the apartment were exactly as described and we appreciated the maps and brochures being available. While busy during the day the area is very quiet at night (and we were there on a weekend). Burghard was very friendly and helpful with check in and check out. An amazing place to explore but bring your walking shoes - it's a long hike up to the Pena Palace and Moorish Castle, but well worth it!
