Patricia was incredibly helpful and went out of her way to give us a ride to/from the Sintra station.

Her house was very well set-up - my family had a phenomenal stay there and was even able to cook/eat dinner one night. We were even able to do laundry there in the middle of our stay!

Neighborhood is quiet and nice, away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist center, and a quick bus ride will take you into the main heart of Sintra historical center from where all the buses for the palaces depart.
