There is much to recommend this apartment, including the efficiency and hospitality of the hosts themselves. Their response to questions was quick and detailed. Their check-in instructions were thorough and so easy to follow that we had no issues at all. In addition, the hosts had left a lovely and unexpected welcome gift for us, which was a nice touch. The apartment is as described in the images shown, if not bigger than the images reflect. It was clean and tidy, beds were comfortable, and we had two great nights' sleep. The kitchen was well equipped including a kettle, coffee maker, toaster, and utensils, all of which were exceptionally clean. There were plenty of books and guides in the apartment to assist plan your activities in Sintra and the wifi worked perfectly. The best thing about the apartment (other than its stylish and practical interior) is its location. It is literally a 1 or 2 minute walk from the train station, which meant carrying our heavy luggage was no trouble at all. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants within minutes walk of the apartment if you don't want to go too far on foot and the buses to travel to all the main sights in Sintra leave from the train station, so again not far to walk to start your day's sightseeing. Our hosts recommended a nearby cafe for breakfasts and lunches, Saudade, which is well worth a visit (or two). In addition, you are near to the historic part of the town of Sintra, which is about a 15 minute uphill walk away, where you will find Sintra National Palace and lots more restaurants and shops. The apartment provides a great base to explore all Sintra has to offer and we would stay again. Thanks Guy and Vera for a lovely stay!
