Alexandra is a wonderful host with fast and good communication, very thoughtful advice and recommendations for things to do in and around Sintra. Check-in was easy. The traditional style and decorative touches in the house were unique and we felt very much at home and comfortable. Location was perfect for us to explore the old city, but be prepared for a lot of hills! It is not really possible to drive up to the house and park there, as it is a very narrow dead-end street. But we drove around the corner on R. Almada Guerra and were able to pull over at a corner where there was a sign and short stairway that led direct to Barrio Andersen next to Alexandra's house. From there it was less than 3 minutes to a free public parking lot where we left our car for 2 days. Note: there were many spaces available when we arrived about 7:30pm, but the lot was almost completely full the next morning when we walked by about 9:00am. It emptied out again in late afternoon, so keep in mind if you bring a car! All in all, I highly recommend Alexandra's lovely home!
