Good-natured Alberto is truly a wonderful host. Though Italian, living in Lisbon clearly agrees with him, and he openly shares what he likes about this second home. The physical space he offers the fortunate traveler is generous, with a dedicated full bathroom adding both privacy and convenience. Very important for me, since my time in Lisbon coincided with some of summer 2022's very hot days in Europe, his place was always comfortable. Last, it's unusual, at least in my experience, to get to sit down and talk with an airbnb host, but that happened more than once during my week at his place. His English is excellent; saying what he wants in this second language appears enviably easy, so our conversations will be remembered.
