“Ideal for hikers and explorers, bring a dehumidifier”
+The location is excellent. We were able to hike to the Moorish Castle, Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, the National Palace, and into town every day for food and shopping. Bus stops to all the sights are close by as well, if you want to skip some hiking. There are no rowdy neighbors. The apartment itself has a small open kitchen with the basic amenities you'd expect, a spacious bedroom, and a fold-out sleeping couch in the living room. All in all, Nooks is a good option for budget travelers who enjoy hiking and spend most of their time outside exploring.
−The bathroom is small, leaky, and not well ventilated, making moisture an issue throughout the whole apartment. Sintra itself is a high-humidity area, so some moisture is to be expected, but this went beyond that. Moving the heavy-duty dehumidifier from the bedroom to the bathroom helped in the moment, but there was already some pre-existing water damage, mold, and a general mildewy smell. Bringing our own pillowcases definitely helped us sleep better at night. Despite the moisture issue, I'd absolutely still come back and would definitely recommend it to others looking for an active Sintra getaway.

+Damp smell. Not the best ventilation. Could be really nice with some more love and investment

“An affordable stay with a solid location, but left us wanting more and better.”
+Check in was a breeze! The location was solid for exploring Sintra. The host also let my friend leave her bags at the place even after check out time.
−We booked for three people but were only given two sets of towels. As others have reported, there is indeed a constant smell from the humidity. The bathroom has poor ventilation, gets very wet, and takes a while to dry. If you sleep on the futon, you have to wear a sleeping mask because the light from the door and window is too bright. The kitchen was equipped with most things for cooking, but lacked others, like a cutting board. On our last morning, there were loud construction noises coming from above at 9 a.m.

+A cute apartment. Situated not far from historical sites. Host quite helpful.
−Humidity in the apartment and it was raining.. There was one heater for 2 rooms. The parking area is near the chapel quite some way uphill. Kitchen could be better equipped. A chopping board could be added for example. A few hooks or bars in the bathroom would have helped too.

+Dos vizinhos simpáticos.
−Não gostei de nada. Tanto que mal entrámos passado uma hora decidimos sair tal era o cheiro intenso e enjoativo a ambientadores. Dentro da casa estava frio. Para além disso não apanhávamos rede nos telemóveis. Tive de ir para as escadas do vizinho para apanhar sinal e poder efetuar uma chamada. As fotos do quarto não correpondem bem à realidade. Com algum investimento e cuidado as condições poderiam ser melhoradas.

+Localização.
−Humidade da casa. Uma casa que dá para dormir, não recomendo para fazer refeições.

+Excelente apartamento perfectamente ubicado al lado del centro histórico de Sintra. Ideal para ahorrar viajes innecesarios y lentos en coche o transporte público salvo al palacio da Pena. La humedad es una cuestión del lugar no del apartamento en sí.

“Un buen lugar, pero si tienes problemas de movilidad o de salud no es tu lugar.”
+La ubicación es buena si tienes unas piernas de acero para subir y bajar cuestas empinadas, si eres mayor, o tienes problemas de movilidad este no es tu lugar, es de difícil acceso. Si lo recomendara, lo haría para gente joven con mucha energía vital.
−La humedad del piso es enorme, solo estuvimos dos noches y uno de nuestros relojes de mano se empañó entero por dentro, la ropa que dejamos fuera de la maleta se humedeció al grado de no poder usarla y tener que secarla, en pleno verano y ola de calor debimos poner un calefactor un par de horas, para poder deshumedecer la habitación.

+Dir Lage ist gut gelegen, die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Leider gibt es in der Nähe keinen richtigen Supermarkt, dafür muss man ca. 25‘ gehen oder das Auto nehmen. Bei dem Verkehr aber eher nicht zu empfehlen. Einige haben sivh beschwert, dass die Wohnung feucht sei - hier herrscht draussen auch eine Luftfeuchtigkeit von über 85%. Wir hatten keine Probleme mit Pfützen oder ähnliches.
−Die Parkplatzsituatiok gestaltet sich eher schwierig. Wir haben dann in der Nähe einer Kirche geparkt.
