Emek and Renato's place is in a nice neighborhood (Alfama) where you get a sense of historic and authentic Lisboa. It's close enough to public transportation and easy to get to most areas of the city. It was however not the most convenient for working remotely during the week I was there. The street is busy and the apartment building is very old which has no to little noise insulation. You can hear every word from the neighbors, and from people standing/walking by the street with the window open. The barbershop downstairs opens every morning at 7 30am and people working there have conversations which is loud enough to wake you up even if your windows are closed. I had to choose between being comfortable with the window open for a breeze or shutting it to reduce the noise but have it be hot inside the apartment the entire night. While working remotely, the wifi crashed multiple times daily. Renato and Emek was responsive and helpful in resolving the issue before the end of the day. However, the fact that it still kept happening wasn't a nice experience especially during video calls. The apartment was generally clean but I did see a cockroach or two, which is not surprising given the age of the building. The building hallway also had a bad smell. If you are 6ft or taller you will bang your head at the entrance of the building and apartment and also by the bathroom sink. The studio is tiny but if you are on a budget exploring Lisbon for a few days and don't mind the noise from the st, it would be a good option. The checkin and check out was comfortable and easy. I would not recommend it for remote work due to the wifi quality and noise.
