Although you're booking private room in the house you won't feel overwhelmed. We, I stayed with my boyfriend, met with others only occasionally. I suggest it depends on each needs they have from their travels. Since we've been all days out and really just had breakfasts and slept there, we almost hadn't meet anyone. Besides there is a small garden behind the house to chill and there are coming visitors too - cats from neighborhood :) The bathrooms are shared, just want to emphasize that because someone could find it unpleasant for they stay. In general we can recommend Bragas house also for it's location. It takes only 15 minutes to the city centre by walk.
