Luisa and Gianni thank you for your hospitality.
Upsides: hospitable and welcoming host, great location, clean
Downsides: very noisy / be prepared to wake up around 6am on weekdays, no/very weak wifi signal - Internet, small space.
A detailed review for those looking to stay at the studio follows:
The upsides?
Gianni (Louisa's husband) was a welcoming and kind host. He let us into the studio without any issues and also went the extra mile in showing us a few cool places around the area to eat which we tried and were excellent indeed - Ze Da Mouraria especially. The studio is in a great location and allow easy access by foot to lisbon's main tourist attractions such as the castle, Chiado, Santa justa etc. Also it was very clean and amenities as described so thank you for that.
The downsides? The studio is located next to a post office. If you are anything less than a very heavy sleeper be prepared to wake up circa 6am every day (except Sunday). The noise for us was intolerable and we were frustrated that this is not included in the property description. It is KEY for people to KNOW this and be prepared for it should they chose to stay here. Second issue was the fact that the wifi signal is very weak. It comes from Luisa's property next door and unless you stand literally next to the front door you won't have proper access. I am freelancer and was hoping to do a bit of work in the studio on a couple of mornings but wasn't able to. I retrospectively notes that the above two issues are also echoed by other comments here. Finally the third issue is that the studio actually is a lot smaller than we thought from seeing the photos. My girlfriend and I usually rent Airbnb studios : apartments wherever we go and we try to save a bit of money by doing some fun cooking. However the studio space is small and uninspiring for doing so. It was the first time we stayed in an Airbnb apartment for 3 days and didn't do any cooking at all.
Hope this helps. Thanks.
