Unfortunately the space just isn’t right for a family … it’s also got so many missing ‘little things’.
There wasn’t any kind of towel holder or hook at all in the bathroom or a shelf/holder in the shower to lay your razor on, there were no extra pillows, or a lantern for the outside terrace/table for evening. It’s the little lived in things that matter.
But the worst was actually the bedroom upstairs. I could only get 3feet into that bedroom without getting my head knocked in as the ceiling is steeply angled and I’m only 5’4’’. There was no way my 6ft3’ husband could have slept up there without getting a head injury.
As well, the stairs were so so steep, and open. We had no choice but to have our 6yr old sleep upstairs, he’s the only one that could fit, but I was really uncomfortable about this. I made him wake us up if he needed to come down, so needless to say, we woke up a couple times each night.
I honestly found the whole place much too ‘modern’ and didn’t expect. Even the elevator entrance feels like an institution, all white doors with no handles, white walls, no pictures etc.
Have to say checkin was really great. However We’d stayed in Lisbon just weeks before in much less expensive places with better character and amenities. This was supposed to be our last ‘splurge’ before heading home and was the least liked.
