Pascal was very generous in letting me check in way early as my flight from the US arrived at 10am. I did end up waiting for him by the front door for nearly an hour. The apartment is quite lovely and can accommodate all your needs. The kitchen is well equipped, there is a washer and a drying rack on the patio. The mattress in the bedroom is comfy and the couch is nice too. NIce to have Netflix and other streaming services available. Personally, there were a few small things that could be improved on, like the internet reliability, but could be not related to the host at all, additional plugs, privacy screen in the bathroom, the odd shower head that sprays everywhere. There are some dampness issues that Pascal is aware of. Overall the apartment is lovely and the value is great. However, for me personally, the location is a bit tough in terms of the stairs and hills but that's Lisbon and I just wasn't aware of that. That one is on me.
