This apartment is beautiful with artwork on the walls of the Sintra palaces and is sparkling clean. But what is even better is the perfect location - you walk out immediately into the alleyways of the historic old town of Sintra. It is surrounded by restaurants, bars and shops and it is a 20-30 metre walk to the bus stop for the 434 (that takes you up the hill to Pena Palace). Honestly, it takes no more than 10-15 minutes to walk anywhere in the historic centre (including the train station and Quinta de Regalaria). There is a small market (merceria) about 20 metres around the corner where you can buy your supplies for meals if you want to eat in (as we did for breakfast each morning). Despite the central location, it is very quiet at night as most of the tourists head home at the end of their day trip. We stayed 3 nights and slept soundly each night in firm but comfortable beds. The kitchen is perfect for a short stay and there is the luxury of 2 full bathrooms between 3 bedrooms. I highly recommend this place for a family of 4 up to 6 people.
