WHile the location is central, it is in a seedy area with lot of pick pockets in the vicinity. There is no lift and one had to lug the luggage up steep stairs. There is no fan or air-conditioning and it was hot in June in Lisbon making it difficult to get good sleep. The neighourhood is quite noisy until early morning also making it difficult to sleep. The building does not have adequate lighting making it difficult to climb the stairs in the night. My wallet got picked early morning while we were walking down with our luggage to the taxi stand. The caretaker's son had promised that he would book a taxi for early morning departure but the taxi did not arrive, forcing us to walk down to the taxi stand in a neighbourhood which did not appear to be safe during late & very early hours. The room was quite small and the bed was making a lot of sound. The caretaker cannot speak English and only way of communication was with her son who speaks good English. Also it is not an attached bathroom. You share two bathrooms for three double rooms.
Otherwise the kitchen was well stocked and had all the implements to make a nice meal. The location is centrally located with easy access to all forms of public transport.
