I definitely recommend Filipe’s place. It is a great apartment, quiet and clean.
The kitchen and the bathroom are renovated and fully equipped.
Filipe is a great host. He will come and greet you during the check in and give you some tips for going around Sintra. He is a nice and helpful person.
Our room was spacious, it had big windows and a big bed. Everything is decorated in a typical Portuguese style.
If you have trouble getting used to a mattress or you have back problems, you should know that the mattress was kind of old and you can feel the springs. It was not too disturbing, but we were there for only two nights and we were really tired, so we didn’t get a chance to be picky.
The whole place is lovely, Filipe is great and our whole stay in Sintra was perfect.
