Our stay at Maria's place was great. The yard and the apartment are absolutely lovely. It is situated in an small village with nice houses and by car you can reach some towns such as Sintra and Cascais easily. We loved her dogs which are very sweet and well-behaved. They were an absolute highlight during our stay. The other dogs in the neighborhood are just a little too loud during the night. Maria was a very great host. She brought us some delicious cake and communication was very good. I would come again!
