Manuela was a very accommodating hostess! We made a booking error and she was kind enough to take us in a day early. She has decorated the place very nicely and came to pick us up after we arrived. Our only disappointment is that this apartment is not located in Sintra or within close walking distance to any restaurants or cafes. We did walk a few times, but it took us a while to get anywhere. Sintra has so much to see that we didn't want to waste so much time getting back and forth. But, there is a bus station literally outside of the house with a bus that comes every 15 minutes, so the transportation is not difficult.
