Martin’s place was very comfortable. The location is central to all of the Lisbon sites a first time visitor would like to see. Very close to both the Metro and Rossio train station. We found the beds comfortable and firm (I LOVE a firm bed). There was plenty of hot water and good water pressure. I thought that the kitchen was very easy to work in and had all of the equipment we needed, AND everything worked well… a few more dried spices would have made it PERFECT (like red and black pepper).
Martin is a warm and helpful host. He welcomed us with a bottle of water, wine, and pastel de nata’s (I’m addicted now). Noise level on the living room side is sometimes a bit active…but the wooden shutters helps to mute it. I’m really happy that we found this place.
