Rita accommodated my early check-in request and met me at the property. She was very friendly and left a bunch of information about local restaurants, attractions, etc. She also left a bottle of wine and some bread/jam. The place is nicely remodeled and is very clean. The property has all the usual amenities, including a washer/dryer, which is behind one of the cabinet doors you see in the photo. The location is perfect: a few minutes walk to Rossio train station as well as the Barrio Alto district (after a night of bar-hopping, it's wonderful to not walk far to get home!). The windows are at street level, so I chose not open them; however, there is a portable tower fan, which solves any circulation/stuffiness problem. One thing I should mention, which would NOT stop me staying at this place again, is the noise: You can hear the people walking upstairs as well as the street noise. It's far enough from the bars, so you don't hear the main ruckus, but you probably will get some loud people walking past in the early morning. There is also a small cafe/restaurant directly across the street. Anyway, if the street noise bothers you, you can always close the bedroom door. Well, considering the price for the stay, Rita's good communication and friendliness, and the property itself (both pros and cons), I rate this a great experience.
