Interesting place to stay with its unique quirks and qualities. This wouldn’t be my first choice to stay but I definitely appreciated my stay here and the fast friendly communication.
PROS:
- it was available when many other places weren’t. that’s what we get for booking last minute
- great location next to the park and busy street, 5 min walk from são pedro miradouro (my fav lookout)
- not too many stairs to climb
- air conditioning!!!!
- solid internet
- 2 single beds that can be joined or separated
- 2 door windows that can open out to the rooftop ledge so you can smoke or enjoy terrace views, you can’t actually step out though
- lots of floor space
CONS:
- you’re in the attic, sloped ceiling so you can’t stand in 2/3rds of the space. very annoying for tall people. but my friend and i was totally ok staying here for a whole week.
- no storage anywhere except for just laying out your items on the floor. not a big deal for us but some might prefer having cabinets.
- there’s no actual bathroom, more like just a shower room and toilet room enclosed by fog glass and opens out to the room. we didn’t mind but others might.
- place was mostly always peaceful and you don’t hear street noise but neighbors downstairs can have annoying loud music sometimes.
- no kitchen but that’s fairly stated in description.
