Great potential.
The location is perfect — mere steps from the best lookout point in the city, and a few minutes walk to mini mercados, many dining and drinking options, Tram 28 stops, and the Castelo de S. Jorge.
However, at the end of a busy day and much energy expenditure while visiting a bustling city like Lisbon, one wants a comfortable retreat in which to cool off, rest, and recharge. This might not be it.
The bed is the worst offender, cheap and uncomfortable. Good rest was impossible. We both had back pain after 4 nights here. The clumpy old foam pillows likewise need to be replaced.
The place itself could also use some maintenance. All the water fixtures wiggle and leak on their bases — the shower sprayer being the worst of these. Janky bathroom shelves threaten to topple your belongings upon the slightest application of weight.
Excellent security! And while the inner and outer coded doors would be perfect for a contactless check-in process, my experience was anything but contactless. The host actually slapped my hand away when I tried to demonstrate my understanding of how to operate the door locks. They also insisted on walking me through every single page of the guest booklet they had prepared — mostly just their personal restaurant recommendations and the phone number of a Tuk-Tuk driver who would offer a small discount. This was a 20-minute affair while my partner waited outside, double parked, with the luggage.
We parked our car in a ramp for the duration of our stay at a rate of 10€ per day. About a 10-minute walk from the place.
With some minor improvements and a contactless check-in, this place could be great. Failing that, I would not be likely to return.
