Advantages:
1. Gorgeous location
2. Price -
3. Cleanliness - daily cleaning in the corridor, in the kitchen, and in the bathroom (towels are not changed), not in the room.
4. Easy checkin and checkout
Disadvantages:
1. Despite the cleanliness, the water does not drain well in the bathroom and while you are taking a shower, you are standing ankle-deep in water. The same goes for the kitchen sink.
2. The building is old with creaky floors, old furniture, and windows
3. Noise - you will listen to live Fado music coming from the nearest cafe until midnight and after midnight the sound of garbage trucks and will wake up to the sound of setting up metal tables and chairs on the summer grounds of the nearest cafes
4. One bathroom for 4 rooms combined with a toilet. You can wait up to 1 hour to get the shower or toilet.
5. Small kitchen for 2 people. We were unlucky at first as the elderly couple spent all day in the kitchen and we couldn't use it except to make tea in our thermos.
