Location: Conveniently located, 10 min by metro from 'Baixa-Chido', the most touristic center. Close to the airport and to the both train stations (Oriente and Santa Apolonia). Metro 'Alameda' is less than 100 meters away. We took short stops at the cafe, cross the street every morning. Good coffee and pateis de nata!! A mart is near hear too! A quiet and safe neighborhood is one of what I liked it about.
Room: A big and bright room and lots of spaces to store things with drawers, hanger, desk and etc. The beds creak a bit. There was a small blurry window on the wall between mine and the room next door. It was near the ceiling so not a big issue but the light leaked though it in the night.
Other facilities: Shared toilets but there are 4 of them in the floor with showers so I had never waited my turn. But I hoped there were some notes suggesting cleaner use for other guests.. I'd experienced flood in the floor and the mat filled with water. And extra hair dryers would be nicer :)
Kitchen has all the necessary equipment. I had my own clean compartment within the refrigerator to store. The dining room (or the sitting room) next to kitchen was a cool place to hangout. The washing machine has no dryer and it took 2 days to dry my laundry with the hanger. Wish I could wall my laundry like other neighbor Portuguese do :)
Communication with the host: Diogo and Priscila always replied my message promptly. My check-in was after midnight and they made everything sure (pickup from the airport, lock passwords and etc) before my arrive to Lisbon so that I could check-in without problems.
