I've had 20+ airbnb experience and Meggie is by far the most heart warming host. I honestly feel that she runs airbnb for her own interest & passion instead of earning money.
3 reasons to stay in Meggie's airbnb:
1) you can hardly find a more caring host on airbnb - seriously, she was toooo kind!! such an amazing host :)
2) great location - in 10mins walking to many attractions and public transportation
3) ultra clean. indeed it's not a big apartment yet u get everything u need here.
From my first contact, she is super responsive and even provide me a free pick up from the airport. The whole stay she responses to my questions immediately. After her kind pick up at the airport, she drove me around Alfama to give me a slight seeing tour - immediately I felt like I have a local friend here!! It was 10pm when I finally settled down. Knowing that I hadn't had dinner, Meggie gave me a liter of milk and cookies so that I didn't starve.
In the last day, I was dragging my luggage with my friend trying to find our uber driver (at the time we already checked out from her place), she drove passing us then stopped immediately, helping us to communicate with the uber driver and even gave us a ride to the meeting point. That was the timing that I felt "oh thank God I had Meggie as my host"!!
In general, I enjoyed the atmosphere in Alfama and I would stay in the same area when visiting again. Meggie's place is idea for an young couple to have a lovely stay and get to explore Lisbon easily. I'd highly recommend her place as she's the best airbnb host ever!!
see you next time Meggie :)
