Rooms in Lisbon

For students

Why this works for students

Built for a semester abroad

  • By semester or academic year

    Come for one semester or the full academic year. Each room page states its minimum stay, so you know before you get in touch.

  • Everything in writing

    A written rental contract, signed before you pay the deposit. Send a copy to your university or Erasmus office if they ask for it.

  • Help when you arrive

    You see the room first, in person or on a live video call before you fly. On the day you move in, one of us hands you the keys and shows you the flat and the street.

  • One payment, nothing on top

    The rent includes bills and weekly cleaning, so it is one payment a month. No agency, no booking fees.

From Miguel and Sandra

We were students abroad too.

Miguel did his Erasmus in Wrocław and later spent five years in Brussels; Sandra worked in Belgium and Canada, and spent her student years with BEST helping others settle somewhere new. We remember renting a room in a language we did not speak and wiring a deposit to someone we had never met. That is why here you see the room first, in person or on a video call, sign a written contract, and get the keys from one of us.
