We stayed at Diana's for six days in August/September. The room and the apartment were beautifully furnished and had everything we needed. Everything was nice, cosy and clean. Diana even gave us a sheet of paper with a lot of tips on where to eat and what to find in the neighbourhood. An advantage was definitely the old and charming elevator, since the room is in the top floor. Moreover, the Mercado de Campo de Ourique was nearby - we highly recommend this place to eat out! Furthermore, several supermarkets and a bio supermarket were nearby, as well as a little park where the locals meet and play card games, which was harmonious and fun to watch.
But if you book a room at Diana's, you need to know several things (which, by any means, should not keep you from booking it!):
- If you use the train, you have to walk a while to the metro (around 15minutes). The path has many hills. Diana's place is a bit apart from all the tourism, but for us it was a pleasant aspect. Furthermore, we began to like walking a lot (which is quite ordinary anyway in and around Lisbon).
- At first, the main door is quite difficult to open. But after a while (and after trying it out many times), we managed to do it quite easily.
- If you are very sensitive to noise, you may bring earplugs, since you will be able to hear the planes flying over the house. But it didn't bother us, because we kept the windows closed in the night (and we were exhausted from the full days in Lisbon ;D).
All in all, we would highly recommend this place and would come back again.
