Antonio was extremely welcoming, especially given we were early and he was still cleaning following the departure of the previous day's guests. We appreciated the information we were given about the area and insights into Portugal. This is only a small hostel and Antonio knew all our names and introduced the guests to each other which was very nice. We stayed in the 6 bed dorm - the bunks were bigger than average and very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Unisex bathroom which was not a problem - guests were all respectful, but for some it might be an issue. Located away from main touristy part of Sintra, but only a short and very nice walk. We appreciated the calm of this area of Sintra- we were still very close to shops, restaurants and the train station.
