We had an excellent stay in Pedro's spotless apartment. The check in was simple and someone was on hand to show us around the apartment and answer any questions. The apartment was a very short & easy walk from the station. Originally we intended to stay in the historical centre but then found this apartment - it was so easy with our luggage to get to and from the station, especially when there are cobblestones everywhere. Also, to get the bus to the palaces you have to get on them at the station so if you stay in the centre you need to walk up and down the hill. It's not difficult but it does take time.
The apartment is very well presented and had everything we needed. We were 2 couples and there was plenty of space - the dining/sitting area is spacious with plenty of room for all of us. The large dining table made for comfortable evenings eating dinner. The kitchen is very well equipped; we found the local butcher and were able to cook up a couple of fabulous meals due to the excellent facilities in the kitchen. There are even 2 types of coffee maker - the traditional plunger and an Italian coffee pot.
Pedro was consistently prompt in replying to any correspondence. Thank you Pedro for making our stay in Sintra such a positive one, I will definitely recommend your apartment to anyone who is intending to visit Sintra.
Note: the Municipality of Sintra have a 1 euro per night per person tax that the host has to collect on the Municipality's behalf. Don't forget to leave it for Pedro on your departure. I had misunderstood and thought it already paid via Airbnb on final payment of our booking; Pedro was very helpful in assisting me get the payment sorted out.
