Matilde was a fantastic host. She responded quickly to all my messages about the booking, although she wasn't at the property during my stay she emailed me the day i arrived to check everything was ok, when i emailed her and asked if i could have a second pillow for my bed she quickly agreed to my request. Her son Matteus who was at the apartment while i was there was also very friendly and helpful when i saw him. The description and photos are accurate, but i think perhaps don't quite show how nice and characterful the apartment is. The apartment was very clean and everything in the kitchen and bathroom worked well. It's a bit away from the main touristy area of Sintra which I actually preferred. The bus to Cascais passes the bottom of the road.
