Communicating with our host was easy and reply was quick. Car traffic is restricted in the Old section of town and requires a QR code for Uber to pick us up. That code was provided to us by our host. On check-out day, there was a Marathon event which closed the road to all cars making it necessary to take our luggage to a Uber pickup station outside Old Town. Walking to this pickup station was simple and close by...nearby the traffic control gate and bus stops. The unit has been well maintained and upgraded making our stay there very comfortable. Everything works like the air conditioner and shower with ample hot water to wash my wife's long hair. The unit is close to the main traffic roads, but we did not hear any noise from the crowds or cars. We felt at home here and we noticed a family staying in another unit making it a wonderful place for young couples with children. We did not hear any noise from that unit. Overall, it is a good choice for families and couples out to share the Sintra experience. The rental unit is very close to fabulous restaurants, coffee and pastry shops, and local tourist stores. The night ambiance where people gather to have beer and tapas is very delightful and romantic. The whole Old Town scene is one of being taken away into a time and space of its own where one forgets about where we came from. It is small but cozy and quaint. Some of the attractions were easy to walk to. But the big ones require some transportation or else it's a great place to train your calf to climb 8000 meter Himalayan peaks. As for the Tuk Tuk rides, the cost to ride down is just a little more than the cost to ride the 434 bus down. If memory serves, 5 vs about 3.70 euros. We took the Tuk Tuk up and down which was quick and stopped at the City Center which made the walk from the bus stop unnecessary. We loved what we experience here at the rental unit and of Sintra itself and would definitely book this rental unit again if we return.
Not the rental unit but Google Maps which directed us to the rental location using lots to steps. You don't need to do that as the road to the unit does not require steps. Had we known this, it would have avoided the cursing from my wife that I picked a place requiring a mule team to haul our luggage. That said, the steps to our unit were manageable and not a deal breaker.

Directions were good for check in
There is no sofa to sit on in the evening as the second bed is in the living room. Also two pods of coffee were left for us and our two night stay.

Location, quick reaction from staff, small but well equipped Appartement
Rather dark (cellar), tasteless and rather cheap furniture (basic equipment to host people), smelly, windows to the street (open that you can climb in)

The apartment is really comfortable, internet working and great location in Sintra. Support via whatsapp is quick and checking is done online, there is no front desk. AC working well, but during the night it is not needed since city gets fresh.
Location is around 15 minutes walk from train station but it is not a smooth walk. Google sends via stairs and many streets without sidewalk, last meters is really difficult to walk with a luggage. Also, the apartment can be second floor, so consider if you have luggage to carry. The bathroom has a sign saying boiler contains 80 liters of hot water and you have to wait to heat up more in case it runs out. During summer it is not a problem, but 2 people in winter might be an issue. Drain of the bathroom was not draining well, so shower quickly filled with water.
