Guesthouse - Deluxe Double Room with Balcony (Room 8, Séraphim)

This was just as I had expected so it did not disappoint! Clean, sunny, comfortable. A lovely small room with easy access to Metro, busses, and easy access to airport. It was perfect for myself, might be a bit small for two people so enjoy the closeness :-).

The space was great for what we needed it to be while we explored Lisbon - the room was very clean and quiet, although you can hear the people in the other rooms/shared space in the hostel pretty easily. The location was a little father away than I would have liked ~20 minute walk to things, but overall it was fine. Things were a little cramped though in the bathroom and the bedroom as it wasn't the biggest space! The hosts were very communicative though.

Like some of the other reviews, we didn't realize that it had a communal kitchen and living room area ( my bad for not reading between the lines), however, the room itself was great! It was situated on the back corner of the building away from the street with a lovely little balcony and large windows that were safe to leave open while sleeping. We were returning from Porto and only needed it for one night, so the kitchen was no big deal. I would have given it 5 stars except it was the same price per night as the large 2 bedroom we had for our first three nights in Lisbon at the beginning of our trip. A bit pricey for a bed & breakfast without the breakfast, but there are not many places on VRBO that you can get for just one night, so it definitely met our needs. BTW, the bed was great and there's a metro stop right around the corner!

We needed a place in Lisbon just for one night prior to flying home. This rental was good value, but misleading in the VRBO listing, where it was described as 'an apartment'. As others have noted (I didn't read the reviews prior to booking), it is a bedroom and very small bathroom in what is really a guesthouse. All the doors are locked with a code so that was good. The kitchen and living space is communal, and breakfast appears to be provided in some instances (other booking sites?). It was clean though not immaculate, The A/C worked well, and there's a tiny balcony where people hang laundry. The location is convenient to walking around the old part of Lisbon, and a 10 min drive from the airport. The listing indicated covered parking is available, but we didn't find any and the owner didn't respond to the question. It wasn't hard to find street paid parking (very inexpensive overnight). If you are not anticipating spending too much time in the place, or are OK with communal amenities, this would be fine and value for money. If not, you may want to look elsewhere.
