6/10
The Good:
Fantastic location—nestled in a quiet valley between Sintra Historical Center and the train station, with beautiful views in every direction. Hidden stone stairways lead up to both areas, making walks much shorter. The apartment is recently renovated and includes onsite parking. Amenities are standard, check-in was easy Note: check-in is off-site, but the apartment has keyless entry (touchpad), so no keys needed and the apartment is less than one minute drive away from check-in location
The Bad:
The A/C immediately began dripping on the tile floor. I didn’t report it to avoid waiting for repairs or having someone enter while we were out—used a bucket and napkins to manage the sound. The rear bedroom shower had a broken shower head mount; the head dangled across the shower valve—very annoying. A puddle appeared under the kitchen hot water heater on the first morning, ruining stored food. Again, I didn’t report it to avoid disruption.
The Ugly:
Private car travel is restricted in Sintra’s historical center. Driving from the check-in to the apartment took under a minute—but a return drive to the check-in location was over 15 minutes due to rerouted roads. Unless you're a resident, taxi, tour van, or bus, expect detours. Thankfully, the apartment sits at the end of a two-way road, but plan extra time when exiting.
