fers attractive, high-tech rooms complete with iMacs and well-anchored iPads, and an ex-
cellent location in the Baixa. On the downside, rooms can be on the smallish side, the
walls are thin, and the heating/cooling and showers (which sometimes flood) could use
some tweaking.

Overlooking Praça São Domingos, Lisbon Story is a small, welcoming
guesthouse with nicely maintained rooms, some of which sport Portuguese themes (the
river-blue Tejo room, a handicraft-lined 'Culturas' room). Rooms range from cramped to
spacious, and the best room has fine views and pays homage to Portugal's greatest writers.
Three rooms have private bathrooms; the other eight share three bathrooms. The shoe-free
lounge, with throw pillows and low tables, is a nice touch.
