We enjoyed our stay in Sintra at this apartment. The location can't be beat--you are literally right in the middle of the action, as the apartment is located above a cafe in the heart of tourist central! You can even see part of the National Palace from the window! Luisa was very friendly and showed us around the apartment and gave us a lot of great recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to try. We were surprised to find that parts of the floor had some water damage and needed to be avoided--not a major issue, but could be tricky for some guests. The bed was also quite uncomfortable--the mattress is long overdue for a replacement. Because the apartment is above a cafe, it may be noisy until the cafe closes in in the evening, but once it does, it's very quiet.
