The only trustworthy housing platform for students in Portugal – An absolute lifesaver!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I highly recommend Rede Um Quarto to anyone looking for a room in Portugal. We all know how dangerous the market is right now with scammers asking for payments without visits, but this platform is completely different.
They are fairly new to the market, but they are hands down the best, most honest platform I have dealt with.
My experience with them was 10/10 for four reasons:
1. Unmatched Safety & Trust: Unlike other websites where anyone can post a fake ad and ask for money upfront, Rede Um Quarto verifies that every person on the platform is real. They require documents and do video calls with landlords. You don't have to worry about sending money to a scammer.
2. Genuine Care for Tenants: They don't just help you to rent a room, they want you to be safe and happy. For example, I was interested in a room in a family house. Before letting me visit, they called me specifically to warn me that the landlady’s son lived in the opposite room and that the landlady didn't speak English. They knew that as a girl, I needed to be comfortable with that dynamic. No other platform would care enough to tell you that small detail!
3. Cultural Experience: They have really nice ideas for people who are new to the country. If you don't want to live alone, they help you find a place with a welcoming family so you can experience the culture and feel like part of a home, rather than just renting a room.
4. Fair Pricing: They actually control the prices to make sure landlords aren’t taking advantage of foreigners who don’t know the market. They ensure the rent is fair for both sides.
They followed up with me constantly until I found the perfect place, and they even gave me an IKEA voucher to help me settle in! If you want a stress-free, scam-free experience with friendly people who actually care, choose Rede Um Quarto.
