I had the pleasure of spending nine nights in this apartment while I was attending some classes in Sintra. The location is right by the train station so it's quite convenient to many restaurants--just a few steps from the wonderful and famous Cafe Saudade, for example--and shops. It's an pleasant and short walk to the city center and all of the local sights but far enough from the maddening crowd. And despite its central location, it's very peaceful: perfectly dark and quiet for good sleeping.

The kitchen attached to the living room is indeed a bit small but well-equipped and totally serviceable for simple meals, snacks, and tea.

My fiancee was able to join me for my first two nights here, and our first thoughts when we entered the space was that we wished we could find an apartment like this for ourselves back home in San Francisco. Clean, cozy, and convenient.

Although he wasn't in town during my stay, Tiago was very prompt, friendly, and clear in all his communication, and he was very understanding and accommodating with all my inquiries and requests. His mother was I thank him and his mother, for making my stay in Sintra so pleasant, and I hope to return to this magical town soon!
