For my first solo international trip, I was slightly nervous on staying in a shared space alone. Gonçalo was a great host to work with and eased all of my concerns. He also provided lots of local recommendations, perfect for a first trip to Lisbon. The neighborhood is a great central location where you can walk to literally anything you could ever want. Keep in mind Bairro Alto is a very popular area for nightlife so it can be very crowded and noisy at night but the double doors at the window did WONDERS to keep the noise to a minimum. The building/apartment/room were all very secure and clean, I never felt unsafe. The room is a great, affordable, option for someone that is just needing a place to keep their things and sleep at night. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
