They say that a 5 star rating should be given if the host is responsive. Silvia was more than responsive (I won't say all she did so that people don't take advantage of her!) Best host we've had ever. The description of the apartment is 100% accurate. Wonderful views (the main reason we took it), great location in Sintra historical center...easy to walk or hire a guide wherever you want to go. Two (minor) negatives -- as the description states, the bedroom is in the attic/loft, and it's not possible to stand up. Took a few days to get used to. The other (for longer stays) is that the laundromat and grocery are more than 1 km/1 mile away -- a bit of a slog when loaded down, though after the first time we were able to figure out the best way to go and it got easier. Would recommend both this apartment and also Sintra.
