Whatever Art B&B

Carlos. Super kind and gentle man.

Carlos went above and beyond to help us find a way to stay another night when our flights were delayed. It was peaceful, relaxing, and full of unique art pieces, very cozy!

Really enjoyed my stay here. I was travelling for work but didn't want to stay in an impersonal hotel or spend a fortune. My room was small but perfectly fine. Shared bathroom was no problem. Carlos was helpful and very kind - letting me check in early. I also appreciated the complimentary snacks. What I liked most about the accommodation was the fantastic location - near two metro lines (one that takes you to the airport) - but not in the hectic tourist area. I easily travelled into the more touristy parts but enjoyed the quiet of this neighbourhood without the tourists. For example, you can take the metro to Rato easily and then do a lovely walk to the historic area (Chiado & Bairro Alto) from there. It is also on the metro line to the university (two stops), which was useful for my work.

Nothing

The room and the common areas, including the backyard terrace, were comfortable and artistic, warm and welcoming. The host was extremely interesting to talk to and very helpful. He even gave us metro cards. We shared a bathroom with another guest, which I don’t normally do. But the other rooms were taken. The bathroom was super clean. Clearly the host takes immaculate care of his b and b. The location couldn’t be more convenient, safe and welcoming. I would stay here again on my next trip.

I wouldn’t change a thing.

Good quiet location on the edge of the CBD and just a short walk from the subway (8-10 mins). It is also convenient for the airport (we were there in 15 mins). Easy access to the main town and plenty of nearby eateries and a museum. We loved the aesthetic of the property with the owner, Carlos, who is an artist (and quite a character), who is connected to his community, displaying his art. It felt more like a home than anything else. Carlos is super friendly and spoke passionately about the city and its people. There are tea and coffee and pastries in the living room if you need. We took a room with the terrace access and that was fabulous. The bathroom was huge with a decent shower.

Not a lot to dislike. He is an bed and breakfast which is in a great location. I would beware of plugging too many appliances which may cause a the circuit breaker to kick in (we brought our own hairdryer which caused this once) while charging an ipad and two phones. Carlos may have resolved this by the time of writing.

It was such a home like feel. Carlos was there and available to help with recommendations and we had great conversations about Lisbon. The ambiance was warm. Friendly. Great location. Beds very comfortable. Nice touch to have cookies, tea, bread and fruit available all day. He was kind, generous and accommodating letting us leave bags early and late which was very helpful. I loved the old fashioned bath tub and the lighting and art in this home in general.

Carlos is exceptionally friendly and eager to help with whatever you require. Everything was exactly as described on the booking page, as stated there is no breakfast included, but tea coffee, fruit and snacks are provided, which was great.

The host and the area was nice.

Well, we were disappointed. The room was tiny, uncomfortable, tired, offered no spare sockets for charging and smelt foisty. The so called 'breakfast' was very poor and on display 24h a day. We stayed in a hostel nearby a week before which was clean, well presented and offered a fantastic breakfast and at a fraction of the price. The hosts there were as nice.

Carlos was very helpful and kind!
