"Mini Hostel" is a suitable description for the big appartment where the offered room was located in. It has about 6 bedrooms (2 beds or more), living room, 1 bathroom with 2 showers, 2 rest rooms (just toilets), a big balcony with lots of chillout areas, kitchen
(-) before our arrival we asked quite a few questions via Airbnb about how to get to the place etc. but we didn't get an answer on that
(-) very short welcome. Business and earning money seems to be the main interests, not a warm welcome for guests.
(-) The room was not ready when we arrived at about check-in time. The previous guest have seemed to left too late so that Anna seemed a bit stressed and asked us to wait 30-45min on the balcony till she got the room ready.
(+) she then gave us a quick walk through the appartment and seemed a bit more relaxed
(+) the room looked like pictured on Airbnb
(+) a lot of things seemed to be selfmade (the bathroom with two separated shower cubicles..) but most important: everything was very clean and tidy!
(+) perfect location with the metro station "Alameda" just 100m down the street and around the corner (linea Verde AND linea Vermelha accessible)
(+) a small supermarket next door (although the range of products includes not much more than what is absolutely necessary)
// => CONCLUSION: We had a good time there, although we just needed the room for sleeping (we spent the day exploring the city). Everything was very clean and tidy and quiet. Hostel atmosphere. Good location.
