It was the first time I have used Airbnb. The room was perfect for me, very close to the university, airport and with the tube around the corner I could get to the centre in 15 minutes. The neighbourhood is green and very peaceful. Maria is a great host, she told me about places to visit and where to eat, helped to arrange transport to the airport, and left in my room a bowl full of fruits. It was amazing to be in Lisbon and actually live with a Portuguese family! You cannot get that experience staying in a hotel.
