For my first experience with Airbnb, it was a success!
Manuela is a really great host.
She maid with us the famous " Manuela' s tour of Sintra" , showing us the best restaurants of the place, and the restaurants to avoid; giving some advices , what to see ...
More important: the lodgement.
It's a nice and clean house, really calm, even if the neighbour's dog bark from time to time.
I've read another comment about that and were afraid of the noise: be reassured, I have a light sleep but i slept well in the Manuela's house (and no need of earplugs).
The plus: hear the sound of leaves of the garden 'tree while in the bed.
And the visit of a charming cat !
If i can, i 'll come back, for sure.
Thanks to Manuela.
