Everything went very smoothly with check in and our stay. We had hot water and there were enough oil heaters to stay warm during our stay. The neighborhood is amazing and a perfect location in Alfama, just down the road from am outdoor kiosk selling coffee and drinks for sunrise or sunset views looking to the water. I was contacted via whats app for the check in process, that’s how I was notified of the key code, same day. The property managers were quite responsive.
I will say that the photos look much nicer than the actual apartment. We arrived at night so it was all closed up. It felt better in the day when light got in. Everything was just as shown but the walls are dingy now, a few tiles cracked and in general a diy construction in the bathrooms etc. The upstairs main bedroom remained mildew smelling for the 4 nights.
All in all it was a good experience.
