Sintra is beautiful, and the apartment is located right in the heart of Sintra downtown, so we were always close to home. Some cons: if your feet are sensitive to cold floors - take heed - the floors here are very cold, so bring your slippers! Like others said, there's a funny smell, can't quite figure out what it is... Pros: place is SUPER clean, modern, great wifi, excellent water pressure/hot water supply, and very comfy bed :) We did have a great time overall.
