My wife and I loved staying at Brian's place for two weeks! The location is one block from the Praça do Comércio and just a short few blocks to the Santa Justa Lift. We're from the U.S. and passionate about "hipster" coffee (espresso is GREAT, we just like to have a good cup of pour-over coffee now and again) and we were excited to find a Fábrica Coffee location right next to the front door of the building. We were extremely happy with Brian's place, including the comfortable bed, modern decor, and enough thoughtful touches to feel like home.
The only *small* criticism we'd want you to know if you're reading this review is that you can hear pretty much everything in the hallway of the building from the bedroom. When folks come home at 3am, you're going to hear them so make sure you pack your earplugs if you're a light sleeper like we are. Don't let that deter you from booking Brian's place, we simply wanted to make note of it for future travelers who might be highly sensitive to noise when sleeping.
We would absolutely book this Airbnb again! One of our favorite memories was sitting out on the balcony and listening to an accordion player while sipping a glass of Douro Valley red wine and taking in the city.
