"Nice place to stay for a while if you want to experience the heart of Lisbon. The location is excellent. Great restaurants around the corner. Plenty of shopping and if you are healthy, you could walk to the harbor square. No elevator, so you'd have to be healthy to choose it. I didn't realize it was a shared bathroom, but that's on me. I'm sure it's in the description somewhere. It was never busy anyway. And the wall art is gorgeous"
