Dolores's place is very accommodating for one-person. The building entrance is very narrow and has a steep stair-well, managing your luggage and walking up-stairs is a bit of challenge. I can't imagine anyone with two-suitcases (22 Kgs each) going up this staircase can manage? It is small so prepare for that, the bathroom is very tight, your knees will touch the wall while doing your business and the shower has plenty of hot water, but its summer here and I was using the cold-water to stay cool. This unit has no central A/C and in the bedroom there is no fan, it's challenging to stay cool while you sleep in the bedroom during summer. But I resolved this by keeping the widow-open in the living room and slept on the couch. The cool river breeze was enough to get a good night’s rest. Dolores is very nice to communicate with; she was always available via WhatsApp during the day. No longer than 2 minutes for a response. This is a contactless entry; the building door has key-pad and is provided upon arrival. You are near everything with the metro-card, this works with the bus also. Where comfortable tennis shoes, there are very steep hills here in Lisbon. Plenty of historic sights to see and the food is amazing as well. Beautiful scenery everywhere to enjoy, I was lucky it did not rain not once. Yea!
Pros:
-Quick and easy communication with Dolores.
-Close to the metro station (Baixa-Chiado) & tram 28 passes through the main drag.
-Cost for the unit was reasonable (affordable).
-High speed Wi-Fi for multiple devices, big plus.
-This is a local’s neighborhood (Santa Catarina).
Cons:
-No Air-Conditioning.
-Very tight small bathroom (to sit on the toilet is challenging).
-Bedroom has no ceiling-fan or floor fan (for summer's this would be a plus).
-Neighbors are little loud with their moto-scooter's at night, while trying to sleep.
Over all the “Pros” weigh-out the “Cons”. I would definitely come back, since it’s just me.
