I had a very hospitable experience at Birgit's place with her cooking a delicious typical portuguese seafood stew on the evening of arrival. Probably that was the original idea of AirBnB: sharing house and stories between traveller and host. Excellent communication, punctual check-in, very flexible otherwise and privacy in own room. The room was perfect for my business stay with a small desk, single bed, closet, and a balcony. There were two cats of whom once was unfortunately not well during my stay. Birgit let me do the laundry and lended me her bike. We also once went to the beach for a dip into the ocean during my 4 day stay. She gave me tips for the neighbourhood and the surroundings. Also looked up public transport for me. Recommended host for sure!
