Nara is a lovely host, she is a great communicator and seems to genuinely enjoy hosting people in her home!
The room I stayed in was a good size, with a great big desk for working. The single bed was fine but quite firm. She provided extra pillows for me when I asked and always asked how I was enjoying my time. If you are staying long term you should be mindful of the fact that the room is facing the road, so there are buses, cars and trams that pass in front a regular basis, it just needs some getting used to or simply close your window if the noise bothers you. She does supply a fan in the room which is helpful!
I enjoyed staying in Ajuda, it’s a more quiet residential area not too far from the centre, the commute took me roughly 18 min by bus every time and at a walk distance from the Tore de Belem , like 25 min or so. I also tried a great restaurant nearby her place called Mestrias Tosca Nova , it’s great Portuguese food with a very friendly staff and good service, and it’s only a 16 min walk away!
Overall I enjoyed my stay 🌞
