Great room and a great host. I was allowed to check-in early, and the check in process was easy. The house is well organized and has 4 rooms for 4 visitors, with the respective cupboards in the common spaces numbered. The common spaces are cleaned multiple times in a week, so for long stays things are convenient.
Jarbas was on vacation when I first arrived and was greeted by Josiel and later Carlos who told me the basics. I later got to meet Jarbas who is an extremely friendly person, who asked multiple times if things were okay. I mostly stayed to myself in my room.
The room is nice, and there is additional bedsheets in the cupboard if you need one. There is even an umbrella inside and a guidebook from Jarbas.
There are lamps beside the bed and a table with chair near the window, from where you can study and see the vibrant street.
The place is within walking distance from IST and has several pastelaria and kebab places nearby. It is also within walking distance from the Alameda metro station, from where one can take a metro to the airport. Apart from mini markets, the local supermarket (both Continente and Pingo Doce) are within walking distance. There is also a cash machine on the adjacent building which accepts international cards (because sometimes local shops only accept Portuguese cards, so you may need to get money from here).
Would prefer this place to stay if I'm back.
