Rui drove my boyfriend and I from Oriente train station to the guesthouse. He was extremely friendly and full of conversation, a welcoming touch to the start of our stay in Lisbon. The listing description was mostly accurate.

PROS- The bikes were a great selling point however we didn't have the opportunity to use them. The pocket wifi was a life saver!!! The furnishings and decorations in each room were lovely, stylish and very cosy. Lots of kitchen utensils supplied. Loved the location of the guesthouse, we found a new path down to the town every night. So much to see in the neighbourhood, lots of restaurants at your door. Elsa and Rui replied to messages almost instantly, which was really helpful. They listed all the best restaurants and sight seeing activities to do in Lisbon. 10 minute walk from the town square of Commerce. We absolutely LOVED Lisbon, the city is exciting, cultured and beautiful.

CONS- No wardrobe or much room for 2 suitcases, we didn't unpack we lived out our suitcases for our stay. There were railings for clothes but not many hangers supplied. Overall place is smaller than I imagined. There was 1 window in the bedroom looking onto the courtyard, which was always shut for safety, so not much natural light. Also, there was 1 other window on the front door, which felt safer to leave open. Not much natural light in such a small guesthouse, however there was lots of lamps, lights etc. Only 1 fan located in the bedroom. The shower water was either really hot or really cold, very small shower altogether. We couldn't figure out how to work the oven but I'm sure it was simple enough if we had been supplied with instructions. No safe box provided for passports/money. Only 1 set of keys. There was some ants at the front door which can be easily fixed with some bug spray. You can hear conversations from outside and upstairs. All the TV channels were in Portuguese. Aside from that, it is a cosy little house for a couple. Would advise people to stay at this guesthouse for a SHORT stay.
