Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to meet Sónia but I’m sure she’s just a lovely as Miguel. Our stay in Sintra was magical and Sónia and Miguel’s place was just the right place for us! Miguel was sweet enough to spend a half hour with us, checking us in, sharing tips and even leaving us with some local treats. In reading the previous reviews we were concerned about how noisy the apartment would be but it actually was pleasant and less than we expected, especially with the fan on. The only slight complaint would be that the apartment got really hot and stuffy while being out and sometimes in the late evening. That’s just a matter of the season though, the fan definitely helps and no fault of these wonderful hosts. We were out and about during the day so this didn’t matter to us too much, especially given the location. The apartment is right in the heart of the city, perfect for exploring the beautiful area that is Sintra. We also loved the flexibility on our checkout, it really made planning easier and added to our trip! I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Sintra.
