Candida’s place was exactly as described in her posting. Her staff were friendly and communicated very well to ensure I was checked in properly!
The station nearby is still closed and requires a quick 6 minute walk to Alameda station which is about 20 min from the tourist area of Baix Chiado. I even walked from there to view points and into Baixa Chiado! I also had issues finding really good and close Portuguese food spots that weren’t kabobs, Indian, or Asian cuisine (note that I’m unfamiliar with the area).
The room itself was clean and the perfect size for one. It does get a bit hot but there is a window. Issues (outside of Candida’s control) was noise and cigarette smoke from neighbouring apartments with the window open. Bathrooms were spotless, tight space to work with but great to use. Lots of fridge space and available utensils!
Overall great stay and easy!
