I did it for the view, and Im glad I did. This was the end to a month all over Portugal and it was nice to have a place to unwind at the end of the day. I traveled alone so the space was just what I needed as far as size and space. I'm not sure if it would be enough for someone who wanted a full kitchen, but for me I cooked every day no problem. The location is prime and made it easy for me to get everywhere I planned with both affordable and fancy eating options around.
The only downs had nothing to do with the host, but I felt like I"d list them just as a heads up so you know if this will be for you. There is construction on both sides that starts in the morning and lasts throughout the day and sunset, this also includes a crane that is in the center to your view, although none of that really bothered me. It seems like its happening all over Portugal so I just came to accept it. The hot water is very limited so showers needed to be planned, but once I understood this it wasnt an issue. Other than that, the plumbing is a little weird and the walls are thin. I had some pretty annoying neighbors up at all hours of the week wearing heels, but earplugs did the trick. The location is central, but you WILL climb a ton of hill, and it is no joke. This again is all part of Portugal, but I definitely felt the burn.
The good overwhelmingly outweighed any of this and i'd stay here and recommend it to all of my friends. Thanks so much for a great end to my trip!
