Cheaper for a reason. This flat has clearly never been lived in and is cold both literally and in terms of its decoration. The absolute bare minimum has been made by providing bedding and running water but there’s almost nothing else... a coffee machine but no coffee, washing machine but no washing powder, cheap hand soap only and a gift of the cheapest most disgusting rosé you can buy (which in Lisbon is very cheap). To add insult to injury, the shower head had been snapped off the wall by the previous guests, and when we informed Kim she said that she already knew but hadn’t done anything about it because she was settling a dispute with AirBnb.. Very cheap to not have replaced a €5 or so piece of plastic.
The kitchen smelt horrible, the utensils were greasy, the floors weren’t clean throughout the apartment and we contacted Kim again. Supposedly she arranged for the cleaners to come around to clean the place again whilst we were out, but it was unnoticeable and I’m not sure they did actually come over.
All in all, the place is just about adequate if you’re really strapped for cash but If I went back I definitely wouldn’t stay here again. We went for 4 nights for my girlfriend’s birthday and spent way too much time talking to Kim and avoiding problems with the house.
