My review is unusual because it actually covers two of Miguel’s units in the same building. The one I booked had electric issues when I checked in. After Miguel responded to the issue, I ended up staying there for one night before moving to a different but similar unit for the next two. Miguel was flexible to address this and I appreciate his flexibility.
In general, the building is accurate as described. The units are small but adequate for one to two people. The units have virtually no closet space, though the second one has a nice place to hang up your clothes. The neighborhood is at the edge of Alfama with really good ethnic food options nearby; some might find it a bit difficult to navigate. Be prepared for climbing because the escalator coming up to the neighborhood is not working. The amenities are sufficient for a few days but may be lacking otherwise; there’s only handsoap available, for example, so make sure to bring your full toiletries. Wifi quality ranges from average to incredibly poor (the second unit’s is not password secured, which may explain why it’s almost impossible); I ended up mostly using the data on my phone, so beware in case you require good connection for work. All in all, a decent enough option for a short visit.
