Enjoyed a great stay at Maria’s, home is located very central to accessing sites, is clean, and quiet. Maria left us a bottle of Port which was much appreciated after a long day of travel. We also enjoyed the outside patio/terrace area, and had a great dinner at a local restaurant she recommended. My only suggestion would be, if you are taking a taxi or ride share into town (which I would do) would be to ask her for a good drop off location to give the driver. Sintra’s road can be challenging to navigate, pedestrian only streets, and a lot that are narrow orone way, so having a good drop off will make the process of getting there easier.

Very quiet and comfortable little place. Perfect for 2! Super close to the old town and palacio nacionale, as well as cafes, restaurants and shops. So happy we stayed here.

The unit was the perfect blend of old world and convenience. Loved the central location, helpful neighbours and old style linen. Check-in was challenging but worth the effort

Mistakes can be made; we did not receive any information about check-in. They did not respond to a message through VRBO. We waited at the door long enough for her to show up. She might have apologized, but then got defensive and made all kinds of excuses that were not valid, which just caused more irritation. ... Hours later her husband came and apologized more thoroughly, which was much more effective! ... Oh, and on the last morning we had no hot water. Otherwise, everything was very nice. I assume they will learn from this, so I would not expect similar mistakes in the future.
