Amazing location, large and bright, basic accommodations. We are frequent Airbnb guests mostly use super hosts. This apartment was the third and the last for our Portugal trip. This was NOT a super host experience. To be mentioned: beds are uncomfortable, floors were filthy turning the bottom of our feet black, the balcony with seating was occupied by a sick pigeon and thick layer of bird feces, and items in apartment felt like rejects from someone else’s home (more like land of lost and broken objects than vintage). There were other issues when we arrived: one of two toilets was broken and there was a missing bulb in bedroom lamp. Toilet didn’t get fixed because part needed to be ordered, bulb got replaced. We didn’t mention the above since we wanted to get on with our visit and at some point these things need to be shared with other guests considering this listing. If considering this listing, and to reduce disappointment, set your expectations to an average Airbnb experience rather than super host. Finally, it needs to be noted this popular and charming neighborhood is also very loud at night time, especially on weekends. The manager Francois is very nice, helpful and responsive.
I realize how this review contrasts with others. I can only guess that quality has slipped since the last review in December 2018 or that other guests were reserved with their feedback.
