Upon arrival the host was able to meet us at the listing. During the initial visit the host took their time showing the listing, using a map they explained the nearby area, provided brochures of things to see, told us of good places to eat, explained the public transportation in Sintra, and overall made us feel very welcome. The listing was everything we thought it would be and more. We brought our kids and the host made sure that not only were the parents taken care of, but the kids too. The neighborhood was a perfect location for Sintra. Close to the train/bus station, close to come good restaurants and bakeries, and walking distance to one of the palaces. Great host, great apartment, and great location. Glad we stayed at this location.
