Thanks Ana Maria. Your apartment is lovely and we really appreciated all your advice as it was invaluable.
The apartment is very comfortable and very well fitted out. Lovely decor and light from the balcony windows.
The kitchen has everything you could want and there is also a full laundry. There was water, plus several bottles of wine (for€8@) made available and the kitchen had most staples which was fantastic. Although truth be told the food in Lisbon was so good and cheap that we ate out most of the time.
Position was in a local neighborhood so no fighting with tourists but very well serviced by tram and bus and close to many parts by foot.
Ana Maria provided a comprehensive folder full of restaurant recommendations which was great - we tried several. We also ate downstairs at Restaurante Raizes which was very good. Breakfast at the bakery was freat, as was an evening g&t!
Probably not useful but our Uber driver Fransisco turned out to be an excellent guide to Sintra and beyond. His contact is +351 910 862 159.
