First of all, Ana, the host, is one of the most open-minded and welcoming hosts I've ever met. We had some very interesting and also funny conversations, not only about the Portuguese life in general, but also personal stuff, and she even baked a small cake on my gf's birthday, which was such a kind gesture! 😊
The overall layout of the apartment is very rustic, but also homely and filled with personality. The cleanliness was also very good for a home someone lives in 24/7, and the accessibility to all the landmarks and cultural offerings of Sintra and Lisbon was remarkably well, given that we were in the heart of the Sintra National Park.
Also, we found out about a very cute and cuddly cat living there, so full recommendation for cat lovers ❤️
