We overall enjoyed our stay at Miguel’s apartment. The location is great, very central and close to restaurants and bars. The apartment, as seen in the pictures, has a theme and seems to be decorated thoughtfully. Miguel was nice but at check-in told us how much more the apartment normally costs, which made us feel a little uncomfortable. Considering, as he told us, that the apartment actually costs 200€/night and is an Airbnb plus, there were a few shortcomings: The apartment only had soap in one bathroom and a few rolls of toilet paper, that ran out very quickly. Also only 2 coffee tabs (in other apartments, even ones that weren’t Airbnb plus, they provided us with quantities regarding the length of the stay). One towel had a stain, while the other was ripped. One bathroom smelled pretty badly, as there was a leak behind the toilet (possibly mold?). Another issue that we had, as we used the apartment for work, was the wifi. In one bedroom it didn’t work at all and I had to use my data if I wanted to watch something, and it broke down for a few minutes from time to time in the living room as well, which is problematic if you’re in a video call. The bedroom in which the wifi doesn’t work faced the backyard; where there were ventilators(?) from restaurants. It was pretty loud so that you couldn’t sleep with open windows and still hear it when they were closed. Additionally, the apartment was pretty dark, only in the two bedrooms facing the street was a lot of natural light.
All in all we still enjoyed our stay, these are just remarks considering the actual price of the apartment (without corona) and the fact that it’s Airbnb plus. However, one thing that stood out very positively was that Miguel was very considerate and helpful in regards to check out and check in time.
Thank you for the time in Lisbon, Miguel!
