Check in was smooth. We were greeted by the host’s mother who gave great advice. There were three concerns we did have
1. For the entirety of our stay there was a rotten egg smell from the kitchen stove area. We were reassured this was an occasional issue due to sewage in pipes, was typical for local homes, and thus not a natural gas leak. This was an issue for the individual sleeping in the living room sofa and the neighboring bedroom but not for the others.
2. There was no ventilation in either bathroom (neither internal ventilation or window to outside). I am unsure if this is typical for homes in the area
3. Bedsheets and towels were quite musty. Bedroom duvet had no cover.
Overall, we had a positive experience in Lisbon, but we will search for another place to stay next time, primarily because of the odor.
