Pro: 1. Marieta the check in lady was the BEST! Very supportive and kind.
2. Charming old building with high ceiling.
Cons: 1. However Joao the host never responded to any of my enquiries after checking in. He was in fact quick to reply before. Marieta later told me Joao was out of the country, oh well, I suppose a heads up would have been better.
2. The shower facility was not comfortable. NEVER use shower while running the dishwasher, (so bizarre) otherwise you’d end up having COLD shower like myself. Grrrrr
3. Quite a few ceiling lights were out of order. At least 5 of them I recall. Especially two out of three bulbs in the bathroom were dead, which was very annoying as I struggled to see my face properly while applying make up in front of the mirror!
4. Only half of toilet roll was provided. Again very annoying as these essentials should be provided adequately.
5. One of the dining room chair is broken! My mother fell twice and I fell once while sat on it . This was unacceptable and hazardous!
6. The flat is on first floor. There is a construction site going on opposite the building. No scenic view at all neither from the living room windowsc nor bedroom windows.
7. The flat is situated on a VERY hilly road. It is over 10 min walk to no28 tram stop and a few minutes away from another bus stop. If I ever visit Lisbon again, I will no doubt try to stay somewhere within 5 min walking distance to a metro station. Apparently it seems metro is the only punctual public transport in Lisbon.
8. Bed sheet not particularly clean.
9. Extraction system not working.
