We stayed a month with Guida during the height of the Covid outbreak in Lisbon. While the timing was far from ideal, Guida went above and beyond to make us feel safe and well taken care of during our stay. It felt like we were at the home of a friend or relative with how warm, helpful and genuinely kind and caring she was.
The home itself is quite cozy. Guida lived there herself for several years and you can tell the thought and attention to detail that went into making the space quite comfortable for even longer stays.
The immediate surroundings are maybe the most culturally diverse in Lisbon with an abundance of great restaurants - Portuguese, Nepalese, Chinese, Indian, etc. within a 5-10 minute walk. You’re also very central and an easy walk to many of the most historic and beautiful parts of Lisbon such as Alfama, Baixa, Barrio Alto, Avenida Liberdade and the Tejo river.
No place is perfect. If you have a car, parking can be a challenge. If you hate stairs, this is a 3rd floor walk up. And while very cozy for a couple, it’s not a big place for larger groups and longer stays. All that said, we enjoyed ourselves and would happily return.
