4.7
Check-in was smooth
Good size, lovely decor, Location is amazing! Quiet street just off the main road. 2 minute walk to restaurants, cafes, bars and entertainment.
5 mins from the metro. 5 mins to Rossio train station (perfect to get to Sintra).
Communication was excellent.
Doron was a wonderful host. A really pleasant experience for my first airbnb experience. We were a little cold at night and asked for an extra duvet. Next day we had a brand new quilt!
Smart tv
With internet, Spotify and Netflix integration.
Lovely little step terrace that gets the morning sun. Hang your washing here. Good place to people watch for a short while haha
Why 4.7 ?
Issue 1
Bed is too small for 5 foot 11 inch.
It's a small double.
This should be listed on airbnb (bed size)
It is super important. I did not sleep well at least 4 nights in this bed. My girlfriend managed a little better when it was warmer with the quilt.
I felt like a large sausage on a small sausage rotisserie. You can picture how I rotated in my sleep with feet hanging over the edge.
Anyway, this really affected my stay and how I experienced the city. Could of done more with a solid consistent sleep.
Getting rid of the side table or maybe knocking through the partition wall will provide enough space for a bigger bed.
Issue 2
Only if 1 of the 4 hobs work on the cooking stove.
Issue 3
Not enough hot water if two people are showering.
So if you are a small person and you are planning not to cook, Doron's place in chiado is perfect!
Apart from these issues this place is beautiful. Like I said, apparent is near everything, tall ceilings, lovely interior design, cooperative host. Value is pretty dame good for the centre of Lisbon!
Thanks Doron
