Hello! My name is Najla (pronounced with a 'j' in Portuguese). I am Brazilian and have lived in Portugal since 2018. Hosting guests is a way for me to interact not only with people who live in Portugal but also others who visit this lovely country from around the world. As a host my focus is to make my guests feel welcome and to assist them when requested. I can communicate with guests in Portuguese, English, and Spanish and am available to offer advice regarding the numerous tourist attractions and amenities in the area. I provide a small welcome basket for guests upon arrival. There is no indoor kitchen, but in the outdoor area there is a barbecue (charcoal not provided), double induction vitroceramic cooking hotplate, small oven, small refrigerator, sink, pots, pans, cooking utensils, and food storage containers. There is a large refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine (with capsules), electric kettle, toaster, and filtered water dispenser in the private lounge. NOTE: Sintra levies a tourist accommodation charge for each guest, but as a courtesy I pay this tax for guests to the local authority.
