Sandra's place was very clean. The couch/armchairs are crying for an update as the 'leather' was peeling off and got stuck to all my clothes/required a lot of hoovering to keep the place clean. I was also disappointed with 4 things:
- silly, but I was looking forward to a lovely welcome card and a nice complimentary Portuguese bottle of wine shown in the photos (also in reviews), but that didn't materialise for me. I've stayed there for 3 weeks, so I was expecting a warm welcome
- having stayed for so long, I'd have expected at least one complimentary cleaning service, but there was no communication from the host on that. Previously I've stayed in a different flat (same building, less expensive) for two weeks and got 1 complimentary cleaning service without asking for it
- there was no aircon - but in fairness, that's my own fault as I haven't checked. However, as I've stayed in the same building before, I know you can get a flat with AC for the same or cheaper price
- there was no balcony - I thought all flats in this building have balconies. Photos kind of suggested there'll be one. But again, I should have checked before booking
The location is great, the flat was clean, but regrettably I won't be booking with Sandra again as my previous experience with other hosts was simply a bit better.
