Cristina has to be one of the best hosts on Airbnb, period! My wife, daughter and I stayed in her home for about a month with our dog when we moved to Portugal from the US. I arrived first with our dog at 1am, after more than 24 hours of travel, and Cristina insisted on meeting me to make sure I arrived ok. Not only that, she had bought and beautifully laid out on the dining room table a delicious, multi-course dinner for me along with some wine! She even picked up some food for my dog in case he had not been fed. Beyond that, she was incredibly helpful with various odd requests for information that I needed for our visa application, helping receive packages, repairing the washing machine immediately when it started malfunctioning, and so much more.
Her home was also perfect -- clean, spacious, comfortable and in a wonderful neighborhood. There's a great small grocery store on the corner less than a block away, many restaurants and cafes walking distance, and of course the train and beach less than ten minutes away. There's also a large, wooded park about 10 minutes away as well as a smaller park one block away with a cafe, grassy area, and kids playground. I'd highly recommend Cristina and her home to anyone.
