We stayed in this tiny studio for 5 days to go to the NOS Alive music festival. It took a while to get used to the size of the place, but once we figured out that everything had its place, it was plane sailing from there on in.

Our first impression of the location was a bit off-putting, as it seemed a little rundown, which we just weren’t expecting. But the local neighbours were very friendly and welcoming and soon made us realise that we were staying in an authentic Lisbon neighbourhood that was in fact very safe.

It’s situated in an excellent area of the city for getting around, with the Alcantara transport hub a few minutes’ walk away, where you can take busses, trams and trains to pretty much anywhere in the city. It also has many restaurants, bars, minimarkets and a large supermarket (Pingo Doce) close by.

The interior décor of the studio is modern and minimalist, with good quality furnishings and fittings throughout. It’s well equipped with top-notch domestic appliances, and has a high-speed internet connection and smart TV, as well as an excellent shower and bathroom facilities.

So despite our initial concerns about the location and size of the place, all in all, it couldn’t have served our purposes better for our short stay in Lisbon.
