Pros
- Good location in Alfama with Tu & Eu amazing local restaurant 10 steps away and turned out to be our favourite (it’s a must if you stay but arrive at opening time).
- View from main room is great to watch the cruises come in
- Value is good
- Clear communication with host
Cons
- Very big issues, the single bed is a CHILDS BED, it’s not stated so we got caught out and I had to share with my mother which was not the plan at all. Unless you are under 5ft you won’t be able to lie flat.
- Arrived to dirty sheets on single bed which was resolved after a night but the replacement mattress was more solid than a hospital bed so even if it was big enough it was too uncomfortable to sleep on.
- Not the Airbnb’s fault but a lot of dogs barking and building work going on so not quite the quiet sleep. Be aware you will hear fado music till about 11pm if you want an early night bring earplugs.
- Bathroom is small and basic but functional
If you’re single or in a couple that doesn’t need the other room and prepared for about 30 steep steps to your room (fine for us but don’t recommend to anyone unstable on their feet) it is a great stay, unfortunately the bed situation just tainted it for us as we were expecting two beds in two rooms but been compensated for this.
