The Pensão Lafonense offers six very basic, budget rooms—all with shared toilet—on a popular pedestrian street in Baixa. Don't be deterred by the grim entrance, it's no indicator of the pension itself on the second floor.

The friendly owner Jenny and her brother have run the Lafonense for over five years. Little by little, they've been fixing up the place.

Faux-wood floors give rooms a clean feel. Furniture is bright and new, though simple and mismatched. Two rooms have en suite sinks and new shower. Those facing the street are preferable, as they offer more light. One room has no window at all. We don't suggest it, though it sure is cheap.

We'd say this place caters to the younger set, those who don't want hostel bunks but could care less about hotel-style amenities and services. Breakfast is not available, though there is an abundance of restaurants lining the same street. Reception hours are limited, so guests get a key to the front door.
