This place is NOT what it was represented as. You don't have the whole place to yourself. Nor is a room in someone's home. It is a kind of hotel. But with shared bathrooms and kitchen. It would have been okay if that is what we wanted and knew what we were getting. But it wasn't either. The location is really tricky to find. It's a cool location if you like city spots. But there is no parking nearby. you have to pay about 20Euros a night to pay in a lot a few blocks away. But thank goodness we had a car because the taxis were on strike. Also there was a protest downtown so we were up half the night. Also it's hot. And there is a fan but it's not much help. Also the lighting has no dimming options. It's either really bright or not at all. The hostess was some kind of manager and she was just doing her job. It seemed like it was trying to be a cool place, but it was just not what we wanted...
Oh I should mention what the protest was--- there were people protesting all through the streets yelling "We want houses, we want them now!" Because the city is being bought up by people doing exactly this kind of hotel/hostel thing for tourism and there is no affordable housing for locals. It's terrible. I felt awful. I think Airbnb is cool in some locations, but in other locations it is causing a lot of issues for locals. I might be better for the local people of Lisbon if you stayed in a real hotel and boycotted some of this style of tourism.
