The studio is located in Chiado up the street from Brasileira, one of the oldest and most famous cafes in Lisbon. During lockdown it might be a calm street but expect to be plenty of movement in a typical day.
The space if well equipped for short and longer stays, it is well decorated and everything is in good condition and working order.
There's a kettle, a coffee machine as well as everything you need to prepare your own food with an electric stove and a microwave. Salt and a few spices are provided but I would be wary of using them as they seem quite old. Plenty of cutlery and other utensils to use in cooking too.
There is a washing machine available to use in a common space shared by the other studios and a clotheshorse is provided to dry your laundry.
There's cable TV although I didn't use it much, there's Wi-Fi fast enough for day to day browsing but I would recommend getting a data plan and use 4G instead if you intend to use the connection for work as it can fail at times in video / audio calls.
You have the whole space for yourself and the hosts are really helpful. Any requests might take some time as they manage multiple spaces in Lisbon.
As for issues, there were only a couple. The clotheshorse provided to me was broken and there was no soap available during most of my stay. I got all the necessary cleaning products for the kitchen and bathroom but the host provided a replacement to hang clothes and a recharge for the shampoo and body gel around a week into my stay.
Host is very responsive to requests or any concerns, it was really nice of Marta to let me check-out a bit later too.
