Arrived after nightfall in Lisbon. The building itself wasn't hard to find but finding the host's mom a bit of a challenge. The doors weren't clearly marked and in Europe the floors are numbered differently from where I'm from, thus it took a few minutes and a few mistakes knocking on the wrong door before I met the host's mom who showed me the room. The mom was a nice lady who did her best to explain things in French/Portuguese. I only knew Spanish and English but could guess what she was trying to say. The apartment building is kind of dark and dingy looking but the room itself was bright and decent sized for a single. Apparently the room I got was not the room in the pictures but it was a good substitute. Though it didn't bother me too much but may be a reason for complaint is that the kitchen sink had old unwashed dishes and the bathroom bath may was pretty gross looking. There are others living in the apartment and In guessing they live there for longer periods of time so you're actually sharing a common space with long term tenants. The Host was dropped by the next day and was very kind and helpful with giving tips about the city. Location of the apartment is great and for the price you pay, it's better than having to share a dorm room in a hostel.
