Would definitely recommend staying here. Madalena and Carlos's home is about a 20 minute walk from the train station. It's uphill but very scenic and we were happy to walk. If you have heavy bags though, you could easily get a taxi. Madalena gives clear instructions to get there. The accommodation was great and very clean. We had exclusive access to the pool whilst we were there as well. We were given a lot of privacy but Madalena and Carlos were also happy to answer any questions. The accommodation was close to everything in Sintra you'd want to visit such as the palace and castle. It's also easy to get to the centre of Lisbon Sintra is beautiful!
