Great central location, and challenging if you have a rental car as parking is very expensive. The apartment was on ground floor and it has a mold problem. We kept the windows open while in the apartment to help with the mold. We communicated the mold issue and it seems the cleaner just used a scented plug-in to mitigate it… the mold problem seems to be localized in the kitchen. We closed the kitchen and didn’t feel comfortable using that space for health/ respiratory concerns - which was unfortunate.
One evening, a person tried to break-in through one of the open windows. Luckily, I was in the living room when this attempt happened and was able to scare them off. A bit unsettling nonetheless. I reported this to police and Airbnb. Note, it’s more challenging than expected to report to police when you don’t speak Portuguese.
The bed also was uncomfortable - you can feel all the springs.
If the mold problem is fixed and new windows that tilt in are retrofitted - this apartment would be an ok ground-floor option.
Sofia and her colleagues were kind and prompt with communication.
Lisbon is an increíble City and felt safe in all other experiences.
