Positives: The room and the house were very clean and exactly like the photos (although the desk is pretty small). The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were fairly good quality. Although there were 3 other people staying there, I only encountered one person during a 3 day stay. Everyone moved around the house fairly respectfully and quietly. The area is interesting to walk around in, and there are not many tourists - it felt like an authentic Lisbon neighbourhood, if that's what you are looking for. If you are a vegetarian, I recommend the vegetarian restaurant just one block away - Bio Restaurante Vegetariano.

Negatives: For someone like me (a light sleeper), this was not a good room as it is right next to the front door which has a heavy, noisy deadlock. This meant that I was woken at all hours - sometimes the last person came home at midnight, and sometimes someone left at 6am. There is also a glass panel above the bedroom door, so when someone came back and turned on the hallway light, it shone directly into the room and this also woke me up. I think it would be good to put curtains across this panel. Also, the streets around are noisy. If you close the windows, it is completely silent in the room, but in summer, this meant that the room was stuffy and hot. The air conditioning in the room was broken so Oliviera found me a fan. I guess he will get the air con fixed.

Overall, if you are not a light sleeper, I highly recommend this room. If you are a light sleeper, I would not recommend it.
