Pretty cool to see inside a older, vintage building redone to house Airbnb guests. The room I stayed in is part multi-unit apartment building. I enjoyed the vintage styles, doors and layout of traditional housing. It's just 1 floor up, so very easy access from the streets to the unit. The room itself is just like the picture, bright, clean and a couple of nice books and photos. Good tables, chairs and hangers to put all my stuff.
Fran personally greeted me inside, welcoming me with lots of info, maps, walking tours that are spread around the apartment. This place has a feeling of a guesthouse, I do not think he lived here, but there are other guests staying here, it seemed like a total of 3-4 bedroom and storage area. Both bathrooms have showers and are cleaned regularly. Coffee and tea and full kitchen access made it feel like home. With typical Lisbon cobblestone streets, road noise and other apartment dwellers closing, walking, the room is very noisy. There's a lot of hard surface that the noise just bounce around, nothing that Fran can fix, but something to be aware of. Closing the balcony window helps, but despite the high ceilings and cool nights, the room still felt warm.
Location is quite good for bus and tram. I tried walking the first couple of days, but as many have mentioned, Lisbon is very hilly, so if you're not used to it, the transit is very easy to get to and there are local cafes and markets nearby for a quick bite and refill of the metro card.
