Hugo's place was overall a great place for our time in Lisbon. The location (while we didn't realize as first) was close to to a trendy area as well as the Bar District. It was far enough away though that you would not be bothered by any of the noise.
As for any reviews, I always believe they are quite personal to individuals expectations and needs. That being said, here is my pros and cons list of this stay:
Pro:
- Location was great, easily walkable to a few main areas. Lisbon is very spread out but Uber can be taken easily.
- Host was super nice. Often don't get to meet them in person but we were able to which made it feel like a more personable experience.
- Place was modern and very clean.
- The whole place was super bright with large windows all along the one side (other then the bathroom, see below)
Cons:
- The bathroom is very dark. It was difficult to get ready in this room, even when showering, couldn't really see well.
- The mattress is very stiff (again, that is personal preference) and would have liked more then a sheet for the top blanket. While I understand it's trendy and clean visually, it's not the most comfy to sleep with only a sheet.
- The aircon could not keep up, while it wasn't hot per say, it was pretty warm.
- We did not use the terrace up top as much as we thought we would. It's more less just a roof top vs a patio.
Overall, I would recommend this as a place to stay in Lisbon! Enjoy.
