This guesthouse is quite lovely. Well restored and modernized, and cared for by professional day staff.
During our two weeks there, we stayed in two different rooms. Room 104 had a ensuite bathroom in the room and a window facing into the courtyard. It is quite compact with a double bed and approximately 2.5 feet of space on each side the bed to move about the room and store your suitcases and belongings. Storage space is limited to two small shelves with hanging space for 6 shirts (as pictured on their website). We made use of the space under the bed for shoes, small bags, etc. There is a safe mounted on the wall for your passports, wallets and a phone but it isn't big enough for an ipad, camera or laptop. The room is right next to the coffee and wine bar for easy access. Unless you plan to spend a lot of time in the room or need a workspace, it's a fine room for a place to sleep for a few days. The wifi was excellent.
We also stayed in room 301. It was similarly appointed but was about 10 square feet bigger, and included a small desk and chair. It also faced the street with a juliette balcony. The extra bit of space was much better.
The breakfast add-on for 10 Euro is nice with a good selection of fresh and dried fruit, nuts, yogurt, juice, coffee, tea, and baked goods. Scrambled eggs and bacon provided daily as well. If you don't opt for the breakfast, you can grab a tea or buy coffee pods for 1 Euro each in the wine bar and go enjoy breakfast at one of the Pastelaria's in the area.
There is also an automated wine bar where you can choose from a few bottles of wine and for just 3-6 Euro, you can pour yourself a glass. Very cool! Alternatively, you can buy a bottle of wine in one of the shops in the neighborhood. There is a nice courtyard that is shaded with relaxing music. A great spot to enjoy breakfast, unwind with a glass of wine, or get a little online work done. The guesthouse is very close to the metro which gives quick access around the city. Or, take a 20 minute walk to city center.
What we didn't love about this place so much was the neighborhood and the noise. The property is located in a 'gentrifying' area. There are so many empty and vandalized buildings and storefronts, trash, graffiti (def not cool street art), and homeless people. It's pretty gritty.
As for noise, there was no escaping it. Inside the building, the walls are thin and you hear everything and everyone beside and above you. We didn't have one night of sound sleep during our stay, even with earplugs! Outside, there is ongoing construction, next door and across the street, and the jackhammering was pretty regular from 8am-4pm. For these reasons we would not return. We asked to refund a portion of our remaining stay after our first 3 days but our request was denied. They did move us to the second room to help alleviate the noise. Unfortunately, all of the same problems existed. Without onsite staff at night, there is not much you can do about your noisy housemates, and hard surface floors in an old building ensure you hear every footstep overhead. We just accepted our fate and enjoyed the sites of Lisbon.
