Such an amazing stay! Our interactions are how I first imagined Airbnbs would be, but so much has gotten commercial over time and it makes me really appreciate this special stay. Maria and her husband John are a sweet couple, and their home is like a little treasure chest of paintings, sculptures, and books. I had a filling breakfast in the morning, and even got history lessons over other meals (John is an encyclopedia of historical trivia). The cottage location is also quaint, tucked away in a more residential area and away from the touristy center of Sintra. Would love to come back some day, and can't recommend it enough!
