We loved the apartment and Sintra! Lisa is a fabulous host and helped to make our stay memorable and easy. The apartment is even nicer than it appears in the photos. We didn't expect to have such lovely views (they can't really be captured in photographs) - but seeing the Castle and Pena Palace from the bedroom window was magical - especially lit up at night. We made Sintra our first stop in Portugal (after flying from the west coast USA) - and it was the perfect way to start our travels before heading to much busier Lisbon. We stayed 3 nights but wish we had stayed longer. Sintra is charming with a lot to see and do. And Lisa can assist in making plans for easy day trips if you want to venture further. If you have the luxury of time - treat yourself to a longer stay. We highly recommend.
