Probably the best thing about this cute apartment on the top floor is its proximity to the train station and bus routes, which visit the major tourist destinations (Pena Palace, Castelos dos Mouros, Sintra National Palace, Quinta Regaleira) around Sintra. We walked from there to the Sintra National Palace, and it seemed like there were many more restaurants in that part of the town than there are right close to the train station. But there were a few nearby. My daughter (23 yrs) thought the apartment was completely adorable and wants to come back and stay there again sometime. We were there only two nights.
A couple of things to note. Access to the top floor apartment is via some fairly steep flights of stairs, which is somewhat difficult if you have very much luggage, or if you are 80 years old. (I traveled with my mother as well as my daughter.) Additionally, the rooms have sloped ceilings because you are on the top floor. Two of the bedrooms are difficult to stand up in (for more than half the room) if you are very tall. None of us are over 5'5" and I don't think the main bedroom where my mom stayed had that issue. But the low, sloped ceilings in the other two rooms could prove challenging for guests who are tall. The convenience to the train station does mean that you get multiple trains a day coming and going. They aren't too terribly noisy, but it's something to note. I would say the kitchen is pretty small and could use a bit stronger lighting. They have a handy table that folds out and can be set up in the living room if you are cooking/eating there instead of out at restaurants. It was nice to relax in the pretty little living room with the windows open, getting a bit of a breeze, and enjoying the garden view.
The master bathroom is quite nice. The shower in the second bath drained quite slowly. We were happy to have toiletries and hair dryer provided. The host also left a bag of ice for us in the freezer, which was much appreciated.
