The Sintra studio was spacious, clean and well-equipped and corresponded fully to the. online description. It's location worked well for us as we used it as a base to explore both Sintra and Lisbon, with the proximity to the Sintra Portela station being helpful to get to Rossio in Lisbon in less than 45 minutes. Parking can be a challenge as it is throughout Sintra, but we managed to find a nearby space. You should note that the apartment is on the 4th floor and lacks a lift. Despite having quite a bit of luggage, we managed to carry it up. There was an issue with the functioning of the lock. Our host Jose had a neighbour help us enter the apartment and then had a locksmith come in the very next morning to fix the problem.
