I liked Sofia’s studio so much that I booked it twice in the same trip—and that was before I ever set foot in Portugal! It bookended my first Camino and it truly was as stylish and cozy as in the photographs. The bed was big and comfortable (key after a long flight and then the physical exertion of walking 14 miles a day for several days) and the unit itself just a three-minute walk from São Bento station, as well as a pleasant stroll from many of the tourist sights as well as some fantastic restaurants. One of my favorite things was to stand on the narrow wrought-iron balcony overlooking the pedestrian-only street and people-watch at any time of day. In addition, Sofia is one of the kindest and most hospitable and personable hosts I’ve ever come across in my years of using the service, making this one of my top Airbnbs ever. I can’t wait to return and spend more time here!
