Maria's place was great. It's a typical portugese building with a lovely garden to relax in. It's exactly as described in the listing and just as spacious, clean and bright as it appears in the pictures. The apartment is very well equipped, quiet and in an amazing location for exploring Sintra; a 2 minute walk from the old town, a 10 minute walk from the train station and close to all castles & palaces. Check in was very straight forward and communication was great throughout. Maria made us feel very welcome by providing us gifts on arrival. We would definately recommend this airbnb.
