Grace’s apartment was cozy, modern and clean and in the heart of Sintra with bars and restaurants literally downstairs. Unfortunately this made the apartment quite noisy late into the night and since there was no air conditioner, we needed to keep the windows open. Blackout shades would be appreciated as well as there was quite a bit of light from signage. Another thing we would have liked is somewhat softer mattresses-which were firm enough to bounce a euro on. For young partiers this would be the perfect place and even for us it was pretty good with the exceptions noted above.
