Rita was a wonderful host and was very helpful with hints on what to do and directions. We really enjoyed our walks in Sintra from the apartment. The apartment is wonderful, spacious, clean and comfortable with lovely decorative touches. Bed very comfortable too. The back patio area is an added bonus too if it is the right time of year to enjoy the sun. As previous guests have mentioned, it is on a busy road. The noise is not a problem while you're sleeping at night.
