Staying with Birgit was a great first Airbnb experience. Birgit is a truly unassuming and welcoming host, gave me great tips and made me feel truly at home in her sunny and neat flat. She also generously cooked some local dishes for me, which I enjoyed thoroughly, much as her company and the conversations we had. The area is very peaceful and a short walk from a beach. It takes under 5 minutes to walk to the train station and the commute is a pleasant ride along the Tagus river and takes you directly to the centre of Lisbon.
