There was nothing I didn't like about the apartment, but travellers should be aware that there are lots of stairs. First to the building entrance, and then up one floor to the apartment.

The apartment was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. We stayed for almost a week and it really felt like a home. Its location almost next to the train station is very convenient and surprisingly quiet, with a small supermarket and several restaurants nearby. Alexandra herself was proactive, friendly, communicative, and accommodating. We stayed in several apartments on our trip This was our favourite.

The living room could use a bigger sofa or another one. With 4 or 6 people just 1 sofa is not enough.

Well laid out, great attention to detail. Clean and comfortable. Excellent bathrooms and kitchen.

Absolutely nothing!

I have to give a huge shoutout to our host, Alexandra! She’s incredibly warm, personable, and truly helpful. This was the final stop of our trip through Spain and Portugal, and it was by far the best of the three places we stayed! The apartment was spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. You can tell Alexandra really pays attention to the details. The location was perfect—just a 10-minute walk to the center of Sintra, yet still close to the train station. Alexandra was always available by text and responded quickly to any questions we had. I can’t say enough good things about our stay in Sintra. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

The benefit of the location also came with some train noise. We didn't mind, but some people may find this difficult. We think the trains started at about 6.30am and finished at midnight. They are not frequent and certainly would not put us off staying there again.

Location was great, near centre, near good restaurants (the local Indian restaurant, the Taj Palace was a surprising delight, given we only went there as it was close and we arrived late). The property owner was super nice, and communicated clearly via whatsapp at every stage, which made check in, check out and any questions super easy. We really enjoyed ourselves.

We couldn’t stay longer 🥲

Alexandra is the greatest host, she made sure everything about our stay was perfect. The accommodations are spotless, everything you need included and walking distance to everything including the trains.

Only issue is the parking is not allocated and when we arrived there were no spaces left.

Spacious, clean and comfortable apartment with large balcony. Situated in Sintra, close to shops, bakeries, restaurants and train station. Short walk to the centre of Sintra. Equipped with everything needed. Hosts were very helpful and friendly.

one very minor thing - the 20-30 public steps up to the entrance are very steep and in a pretty bad way and great care needed with heavy suitcases ………… but if you are visiting Sintra you will expecting some steep slopes anyway !

very good location to do everything in Sintra and easy 5 minute walk from station - host was very helpful with restaurant recommendations

Nothing.

The apartment is large and clean apartment. It has good facilitirs including tumble dryer and there are ample utensils and stuff for cooking. The host provides clear chech-in instruction and arranges heating before we arrive. It locates near the train station but has to walk several flocks of steps to reach the entrance of the apartment.

The apartment was beautiful, with good ventilation and plenty of space. The kitchen was well-equipped. The decor was simple and tasteful. Very big fridge. Easy access with keys and close to the centre of town.

Location. Walking distance to many restaurants, train to Lisbon, bus and tram to the beach.

The only thing people need to consider is the steps leading to the Main Street are quite rough, so if you suffer from mobility issues you should be careful. But that’s more or an accessibility issue than something I didn’t like, it didn’t affect my stay at all.

Clean and comfortable, great value for money and a very nice host.

Loved the location! The apartment had everything that we needed. Very clean and just enough personal touches. Sintra train station very close by as with restaurants and grocery stores. There is free parking!

Stayed in May 2023

There are quite a few steps to get to the building. If you have a lot of luggage or mobility issues the owner will meet you, which was nice.

The apartment was great! Close to town and all the activities. It was very spacious and had all the amenities. I would highly recommend!

Wonderful stay and very communicative host. Spacious rooms, nice balcony. Helpful having a washer and dryer, and a cozy fire in the fireplace (wood was provided). Easy walk to the train, central Sintra and Quinta da Regaleira.

Contact with the owner we're easy and immediate. He was very helpful and prompt. Good and fast communication. Key exchange well organized. I really liked the stay in this apartment. The place has a nice relaxing feeling and it's really well furnished. Plenty of crockery and kitchen utensils. And most importantly, a wood-burning fireplace. Which will keep you warm in inclement weather.

Very confusing/difficult to find. Not clear numbers in the street. Extremely narrow street to get to the property which we discovered was up the far end which was not obvious. Extremely difficult to turn around after dropping bags off. Some stairs to get to the unit but not a major issue. Parking was not available out the front so instructions for other options should have been made available before arrival.

Extremely well equipped house. Very large with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Location great. Hosts communicated well and gave codes well ahead of arrival time. Liked laundry facilities in house. Comfortable lounge and dining room. Fire place available- although no paper or kindling to start it.

Private parking was very limited and extremely stressful due to minimal space to maneuver. Anything more than a subcompact car will have difficulty to park and drive a very narrow alley to the main road. The public parking involves negotiating steep streets and stairs.

physical lodging/lodging was exceptional, well stocked, and extremely clean

Stayed in December 2022

What I would note is the parking. Booking says this has parking, when you filter out results and I would say do not bet on that parking at all. We only had parking for one night really. Not to mention the parking is not easy to access. You have to drive down a one way small alley to get to the small lot and if there is not a spot, due to the large rock wall, it is very hard to turn around. We had to back out of the alley more than once, which the alley leads to a pretty busy street. It was not fun. The parking lot provided as a back up is not really that close for walking and because of the size of the lot, it's not super easy to just drop off bags and then go park. If you don't have a car none of this matters but if you do, I just would please take note and prepare. Also, you do have to take a lot steps up or down, outside, to get to the apartment or leave. They are a bit uneven and old so If you are traveling with an elderly person or disabled please notate that as well. If I could make a suggestion it would be to move the full/queen bed to the master bedroom with the ensuite, and the twins to the smaller room.

The apartment is quite lovely, very spacious and has everything you need. If you don't have or need a car i would say it's perfect. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms a fireplace and a great balcony overlooking Sintra. It is near restaurants, with a breakfast restaurant right at the bottom of the steps and a great Indian restaurant and bar right around the corner. It's in a great location easily walkable to a lot of things.

There weren't any negatives to our stay - everything was perfect!

Our host was incredibly communicative and helpful leading up to and during our stay. The apartment had absolutely everything we could need and it was such a treat to be able to wash (and DRY!) our clothes in the middle of our trip. The place was clean, we could easily get in with keys or a code and there was even a lovely fireplace with wood ready to make a fire.
