Mid-term furnished room via rental platform, Lisbon Arroios· Lisbon
Convenient on arrival, poor value for money
I rented a furnished room in a shared apartment in Arroios for four months through a mid-term rental platform. Booking from Brazil was easy, and I had an address from day one, which helped with paperwork. But at 750 euros a month for a small room, it was expensive. The photos made the room look much bigger. The heating did not work well, and in winter the apartment was cold and damp. Communication with the management company was slow, and a repair took three weeks. I would only use this option for the first few weeks while searching.
Easy to book from abroad
Address for registration from day one
