I doubt that I can do this place justice for how awesome it is but I’ll try…
I needed to plan an offsite meeting for work with 20+ people from across Europe, America, and Australia. I came across Intendente 1865 on Airbnb and it ticked my most important box: Everyone needs to have their own bathroom.
After I scheduled the place, Susana emailed me to tell me about the accommodations and whether I would like to plan a group dinner and Fado night. I didn’t know what Fado was, but with it being in the center of Lisbon, it’s difficult to find restaurants that will reserve 20+ seats, so I requested the dinner + Fado music night. (They also offer a hot breakfast if you tell them in advance.)
My colleagues and I were amazed by the experience. The musicians were talented to the point where no one even thought to glance down at their phone. Absolutely mesmerizing.
Ok, enough about the delicious dinner and Fado…All the beds were very comfortable. Everyone told me that their room was quiet and that there was good water pressure for the showers. They had cleaning service come by to freshen everyone’s room. And there were common areas on each floor with seating and a dining table, complimentary bottle, microwave, sink, dishwasher, coffee maker, cups, cutlery, a freezer, and a refrigerator…anything you need.
Also worth noting: There is a storage closet downstairs on the main floor in case you drop by early and need to leave your bags.
I can’t thank Diogo and Susana enough for working hard to making this a great experience for us all. We appreciate all the work to do and hope to see you again soon.
