We had a nice stay in Lisboa, is quite small the center area, included barrio alto, so the place was a good choice. The house is at it seems in pictures, a tiny but nice clean room with sloping roof and an independent bathroom and a very small terrace where you can have some fresh air. It's equipped properly and with a red table (as it is in pictures) to breakfast if you want. We arrived a bit late because our flight was delayed, but a friend of Martha was waiting for us. (You have to calculate more than 1 hr from the airport, from the subway stop the house is just 10 min walking). We had some maps and information about the city waiting in the room.
The very good things:
- Great place in Barrio Alto, because you have full of restaurants and pubs/bars to end the day (we recommend Clandestino and Cevichería to dinner, and the Gigante Croissant for breakfast, that is just going up and turn right to find the next street).
- It's 4th floor, so although it can be a bit noisy at weekends if you close the windows/door will be ok, during week not much noise.
- Bed is ok as well, big and confortable.
Not so good:
- 4th floor with no elevator and with quite narrow and high stairs, so I wouldn't recommend it for old people, or with small kids or child seat..., better for young/medium people.
- A bit of smell from the bathroom, not big deal, but we some times during our 4 days stay.
- There were no place to leave clothes (in the lowest side of de roof it was some little room, but it only was one chair and some decoration). We think it is necessary some shelves there. No hangers as well.
- Quite hot in summer if you don't leave the window of the bathroom and the door of the small terrace opened (when we arrived it was very hot, also because the climb up the stairs), a standing van would be great. (if you leave windows open you'll hear some noise...)
In summary, small place, full equiped, nice shower and bathroom, good location, lots of restaurants and places, not for old or disable people or with small kids, nice host, we were in touch days before to ask some questions. We were ok!
