In one word - Hell. But in order to make this review useful I’ll go over the different items:
- The apartment itself is barely habitable. When Lisbon is getting hot, the room becomes unbelievably hot. It got to the point where I wasn’t able to come back until sun went down in order to handle the temperature.
At the same time, water are either burning-hot, or freezing cold. You cannot take a shower at a normal temperature.. which makes it even harder.
The shared spaces are tiny - bathroom and shower are together in an about 2.5-2 meter space, which is not very tall. The kitchen is kind of like that as well, and there Isn’t a lot of space to move around.
- location is good, center of Lisbon downtown which is nice for younger people. However, it’s at the top of the hill, and then to get to the apartment you’ll need to climb 5 floors. Without AC and a proper shower, that becomes a real issue.
- Andre was a nice guy. He’s super responsive, when I had an issue at around 23:00 he helped pretty quickly. His English is not too good though so when there are issues it’s a little harder to communicate.
Overall I would never go back, and never recommend, until at least the AC and shower issues will be solved. Otherwise, any hostel would do better, or paying more money. I had to shorten my trip a lot because this wasn’t possible to stay in.
