The place is cute, and the location is nice. The host seemed friendly was very communicative. He allowed flexibility with our check-in and offered luggage storage after check out, which was the primary reason I booked this spot.
While I understand air conditioning is not a standard in Lisbon, this space was uncomfortably warm / humid inside and smelled (strongly) of basement / mildew. Even on hot days, the Inside was probably a 5-10 degree difference compared to the outside. When I mentioned this to the host, he did bring in an additional large scale fan. Unfortunately it did not help much due to how muggy it was inside.
The host stated it was possible to open the windows, but one of them was shattered and we were apprehensive to do so in fear of the window breaking even more. Even if we opened the windows, they’re directly onto ground level, so they would open directly to the street.
There is 0 ventilation in the bathroom, so showers were unpleasant, and it would be difficult to stop sweating due to the temperature inside.
The steps going upstairs were questionable and often felt as though they could snap off. The place is in need of a deep clean.
This property did have a fair amount of noise outside due to its location, but that isn’t something that bothers me.
