I honestly couldn't have wished for a better welcome to Portugal. I had such a lovely time at Isabel's sweet & very clean & convenient home, everything was just super. Paula (Isabel's friend & neighbour) met me at the airport & helped me with my luggage! (Sorry, Paula! It was very heavy!) This was so brilliant - & invaluable. Isabel was with her Mama, who is poorly, unfortunately. However I spoke with Isabel on the phone when we got her her place (in my terrible French, sorry!) & that was really nice, so we could have a chat & Isabel asked Paula to help me to bus stop the next day. (I needed to know how to get to the train station & Isabel kindly sorted that out for me.) That was also invaluable & so Paula came back next day & we went to bus & had great fun. Alain, another AirBnB guest staying was also friendly & kind. Everyone was so kind & I felt so well taken care of & safe. This was such a boon to me, so I can't thank you all enough! Isabel's place was tidy, warm, & very clean. The shower was great, & the bed was comfy. Nice food to eat & great coffee! I hope to be back! Muito, muito obrigada!
