Luisa's place is a perfect location right in the center of Sintra, with restaurants and shops at your doorstep. The apartment is on the smaller side, but was perfect for my husband and me and our two young children. We loved opening up the balcony window/doors and looking at all the activity below. My only issue was occasionally an odor would come through, mainly in the bedroom and bathroom and it was unpleasant. I'm not sure if it's common in these older buildings to have a sewage smell, but it seemed to be coming from drains/pipes. Other than that, it was a great place to stay and I'd recommend to anyone visiting Sintra!
