Maria's place is at walking distance from the train station (and town center). From the station, it's only two stops to Sintra, and it's really cheap. The best way to go to Sintra is either by train, bus(?), or taxi. One day, on our return, the train did not leave the station. We ended up taking a cab to Maria's place which costed only around €7,= A train retour ticket is half that per person.
Maria keeps her place clean, and she complies with regulations. There's a fire blanket in the kitchen, and a fire extinguisher in the hallway. She also has complaint forms in the hallway.
We were disappointed that the central heating was out of order, but Maria provided us with an electric heater. We were lucky that the weather was not too cold during our stay.
At check-out, Maria was right on time and she asked us for feedback to keep improving her business. Kudos for that.
