Patricia is a very kind host, the communication and the check-in worked good. Unfortunately the apartment wasn’t as nice and spacious as it looks in the pictures (which now seem to be strategically shot in order to let the apartment seem bigger). There is bearly enough place for two people standing in the same room (and if you are a tourist and you have luggages, the luggages will take up the most of your space). The apartment is very old and definitely needs renovation. The bathroom door doesn’t close properly bc the wood is swollen (the bathroom is less then 1 qm and IS the shower. Seriously, you close the door and turn the water on. This means that when you want to shower the floor, the wc and the sink gets a shower with you and you have to wipe everything after that. The door got swollen bc of it I guess). There isn’t even room to hang towels (instead of what is shown in the pictures). The curtains are rusty and there is mold in every corner. There is no proper heating. We were only given a small electric heater which wasn’t enough even for the small bedroom.
The apartment is also on the 4th floor without lift and the stairs are very narrow. I forgot to mention that you cant’reach the location with a car, so don’t take a lot of stuff with you!
So summarizing: if you are not claustrophobic, don’t mind to lift your luggages and you are just gonna spend very few days in Lisbon, where you are gonna be out day and evenings: this apartment is for you! Very well located and with nice restaurants around and cheap in comparison with the other I saw. But if you’re planning a long stay and sometimes you want to relax in your Airbnb, maybe cook something, relax watching tv: i would definitely find something bigger and comfortable.
