8/10 Good

The apartment was on the lowest level of the building with limited natural light. Its quiet while being just a few short steep blocks from the historic center's restaurants. This little town goes to bed early, so get your dinner at 7 when the cafe's open...by 10 you'll have few options. Arriving by car is harrowing on narrow steep twisty one way hairpin turn cobblestone streets: be forewarned! Self check-in was confusing since the entry to this unit is downstairs on the back of the building, not through the building's main lobby. Cell service is spotty at best, more like non-existent. Wifi is slow but a life saver without cell service. The Pena Palace, Moorish castle and initiation well are within long steep walking distance. If you're fit you will enjoy it, if not as previously mentioned, driving the circuitous route to these attractions is not for the faint of heart so think twice about staying in Sintra at all...regardless of which lodging you choose. Download the google map onto your device so you don't lose nav....you will need it to get out alive.
