I stayed at Sara’s place for 4 weeks in winter, working from home. And what can I say – it’s been an amazing time! It is a very cosy and authentic place, situated in a calm and down to earth neighborhood with grocery stores etc closeby. You can reach the city center in 30 mins walking, but bus and tram are also around the corner to get there more quickly. The internet connection was excellent, and I loved working on the small desk with the nice tablecloth (all exactly as in the pics). Extra points for the chair which was even better than in the picture :D For people from more northern countries, it can be a novelty that houses in the south are generally colder in winter than ours – but Sara has a gas heater that can be moved around and that makes it very comfortable :) The best part though is living with such a friendly and warm host, chatting over a glass of wine or cup of tea (has turned me into a tea-lover), and learning about Portuguese culture, habits, etc. If you prefer to be more on your own, it will totally be respected.
Felt like home!
