Neighbourhood
Costa da Guia is a fabulous neighborhood. We have multiple restaurants and cafes with waterfront views just three blocks away. We have three grocery stores within walking distance, plus bakeries, cafes, a bicycle store that offers rentals, a pizzeria with a play area for kids and a produce stand plus several butcher shops. The immediate area around our building has parks and green spaces and just three blocks away is the bicycle path that will take you to downtown Cascais or to the beach.
Getting to my home
We are a 10m bus ride to the center of Cascais or a 30m walk. Once in Cascais you can take the train into Lisbon 40m and the metro to the airport. You can also park a car outside our home (free parking). The Lisbon airport and the center of Lisbon are 30m by car. Ubers are plentiful. An uber ride to the airport costs around 25 euros each way.
Nearest airport
Lisbon Airport is 30m by car or uber.
Getting around
Walking is the easiest way to get around and we also bike everywhere. We do not own a car and find that we do not need one.

Happy to show people around and share what we know and love about our new home.
We love staying at Helena's home as it is centrally located and within walking distance to Cascais downtown and municipal market. Helena also communicated really well. Thanks Helena for let us stay at your home
Helena and family communicated really well & left our house clean.
We loved staying in Efti's home. It was so comfortable and convenient for exploring Coimbra and the surrounding area. Everything was so well explained in their home manual. My favorite thing about exchanging with Efti was getting her recommendations about where to eat locally. I am still dreaming about the delicious hot chocolate place that we never would have visited without her recommendation.
Efti and her husband were perfect guests. We loved hosting them!

Helena
We are an active family of 4. I was born in Miami, Florida in the United States and my parents are Venezuelan with Basque & Portuguese heritage while my husband is from Scotland but raised in Australia. We have 2 boys (ages 15 and 9). I work full time as a teacher so mostly looking for exchanges for one week in Spring (varies based on the school calendar),the last week of October and Christmas holidays (last two weeks of December or first week of December and first week of January). We may also be available sometimes for summer exchanges although usually we stay home.
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
