The room is what the picture show. The view is over the bridge 25 de abril and the river Tejo. The house has the basic facilities and it is okay to spend a few days. The house has 2 showers and 2 toilets since one is out of service. Even though there are 7 rooms it is doable. The negative aspect is that the door of one of the toilets doesnt close and allows other residents to hear everythting inside (isolation is poor) and there is no privacy. Since the isolation is poor, there isn´t complete silence. Also the given towels are too small to shower.
Communication was okay. Location is also fine. 20 minutes walking to the centre. In the house shoes are not allowed so you might want to take your own slippers. They offer you some but it is not so hygienic, in our opinion.
