Diogo’s place was lovely and the photos are accurate! It is a great spot if you want to experience being around locals and also if you want to be near Lisbon without actually staying in the middle of the city.
The Wi-Fi works amazingly in the living room and still great in the
bedrooms/the further you get from the router. (We’re digital nomads so this was important! It was like 100 up/100 down). The outside area has a communal garden and even area to compost which I loved!
The space is homey and has a lived in feel which makes it easy to feel comfortable. Additionally Diogo was incredibly helpful and easy to contact. He even helped with some mail issues I was having.
The spot worked well for my partner and I, however there were a few things that didn’t suit us in particular - but may be totally fine for you!
A few things that might make this rental NOT for you - the shower is quite short. My boyfriend is 6’1/2m and could peek over the shower curtain.
Similarly, the outdoor area is quite nice, but be sure to watch your head as the back door and ledge over the top are all quite short. Both my boyfriend and myself (159cm/5’3”) bumped our heads a few times.
Lastly, the walls are a bit then which actually was not a problem at all for the most part, but for some I’m sure that could be a concern.
We would totally come back to this comfortable stay and just back to Ajuda in particular. It was a great spot to make friends and learn about Portugal!
