The apartment is literally few steps from Sintra National Palace. It's clean and well-decorated. Very functional except for the bathroom. It's tiny! Also as it's an old part of the town, so is its sewage system. There was a bad smell coming from the bathroom pipes. Thank to Anna, a super host and always attentive to our requests , who had come with some helpers, had cleaned the pipes and somehow the smell went away. Till the time we left, no bad smell which was a relief. It's important to point that the city of Sintra has made some modifications on traffic circulation and parking a car is really a challenge. Suggestion, in case you have a car like we did, leave in the public "Parque parking" ( it's free) and take a taxi to the apartment because only locals and taxi drivers are allowed in the historical area.
