Exceeded my expectations! Wilfried and Manu are the loveliest people. The place is a dream. This is the perfect apartment if you are:
-looking for a private room. It's a shared living experience and great for meeting amazing people in a new city
-interested in design or architecture. The place is incredible in that regard. It isn't often one gets the opportunity to live in such a thoughtfully and beautifully restored historic space. Wilfried has a talent and eye for design. The beauty of the space was inspiring, relaxing, and very special. Great light as well.
-need to work while traveling. The wifi speed is excellent and Wilfried is very tech savvy. The living room or terrace are great to work out of.
- eco friendly or green minded. Wilfried has gone to great lengths to provide guests with excellent eco shampoos, soaps, linens, mattresses, towels, and has made a concerted effort to buy high quality locally produced goods to furnish and stock the house with.
-super down with comfortable beds (seriously the bed was great).
- love tea and coffee. There is an excellent selection of Portuguese teas and coffees for the morning.
What you should know:
- no A/C. There are fans and I found the room perfectly comfortable with the windows open
- if you are noise sensitive, do not book the front room. The tram might be bothersome during the day as it does run right by the front room.
I was really blown away by the space and people I met here. Wilfried has excellent taste and is full of the BEST SUGGESTIONS from everything to food, sights, music, and other cultural activities. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
