The pros:
• quaint area – tree-lined streets, a nice park just a block away, lots of restaurants, + very close to the Mercado de Campo Ourique, which has a Time Out Market feel on a smaller scale + without all the tourists.
• flat + very walkable.
• apartment is in a nice location + gets a lot of natural light.
The cons:
• the bedrooms face the street, which is loud.
• neighborhood is right in the flight pattern.
• shortage of towels.
• there has been water damage, + the bathroom door wouldn't close entirely.
• the kitchen faucet was so loose it wasn't even connected to the sink anymore.
• note that no coffee, tea, or sugar packets are provided. The other AirBnBs had supplied all of these things. There is a store downstairs.
• The main bummer for me is the patio overlooks shambles of rundown buildings to the point we didn't even want to sit out there.
André was communicative, + the location is good, but the apartment fell short in several ways for me.
