The host Patricia was communicative, attentive and responsive! I was genuinely confused about other reviews regarding this aspect of the rental (honestly, if you expect AirBnB to be a hotel, you will be always disappointed and upset). The apartment is as pictured, it's very comfortable and in a great location. The design of it is also quite cute and clever. The only thing I would add is try and figure out a way out of the shower situation: like other users, we flooded the bathroom floor the first time but found a technique and it was fine after that.
While multiple reviews identify the nearby restaurant as a source of noise (by the way, very highly rated on goole and zomato), my husband and I did not find it to be a problem at all. What did become disturbing was the trash collection in the middle of the night but that is not something the host can address or fix; it is the city of Lisbon's way it seems.
The apartment has a hairdryer and is equipped with kitchen basics (although I would prefer a stove top coffee maker/espresso as it is easier to buy coffee for it). All in all, the location and place are quite perfect and so is Lisbon in our experience. Thanks Patricia! :)
