There was good and bad.
The good included a nicely renovated cozy apartment in the typical Portuguese neighborhood of Madragoa. We just happened to be there during the St. Anthony's Sardine Festival. It was very colorful and a great experience.
The bad was the small bedroom that was upstairs that had a low sloped ceiling. While we could stand up in the middle with no problem, any sideways movement caused us to bump our heads into that ceiling. We had to walk around hunched over if we wanted to plug in our phones to charge, enter into one side of the bed, or begin our descent down the stairs. It was great that there was a second bathroom upstairs but the sloped ceiling made it impossible to stand up and pee. We are only 5'7 and 5'8 inches tall.
There is also a pull out sofa bed downstairs which we tried to use instead but it was uncomfortable and since we were paying for a home with bedroom we left with 5 nights still to go. We had booked for 17 nights but left after 10 trying to make the best out of it.
The hosts were very nice and communication was very good.
In our opinion this home is better suited for younger people for shorter stays, or shorter people for longer stays. :)
