WARNING: VERY NOISY! Don’t come here if you want to sleep at your holiday or relax.
Never felt so happy to leave somewhere before. Complained after the first day about the noise there but it got ignored. Saying „the studio is located in a very quiet street“ is a plain lie - especially if you forget to mention that the cheap cardboard walls let you hear a cat fart 2 blocks away!
Average sleep of 2-4 hours maximum per night! Awful!
Every night (except Sunday) the garbage is collected outside at 2:30 am resulting in a monstrous noise. At 6:30 the dogs outside on the balconies in front of the apartment start barking non-stop to each other for hours straight all day. In the evening and night, drunk people yell at each other in the street. Expect to hear anything that happens on the streets around. Agency staff Carolina seems to have no idea about the actual level of noise going on because obviously she never stayed herself in the studio and acts ignorant. Super loud construction work underneath the studio but feels like the workers are next to your ears. Asked agency staff before about the level of noise and they told me construction was finished already! Another lie.
Additional features adding to the noise torture:
- No wardrobe! Yes, you read right! No hangers, nowhere to hang shirts, jackets etc.
- No mirror, except one in the bathroom - but there was no light in the mirror
- Cockroaches
- Ice-Cold (in November) with tiny heating unit that can only be used if no other electronic device (oven, water heater etc.) is used at the same time or the fuse goes out immediately
It’s a shame really that in Lisbon greedy people just buy places, renovate as cheap as possible and then use them only as holiday apartments to milk tourist for money - not the original idea of AirBnB staying at real people’s places, who care.
Bottom line: I was too tired to enjoy much of the city, nor work properly and had to escape to the park and friends apartments to find some sleep. I use AirBnB since 6 years for all my travels and have never experienced anything like that here!
Can’t recommend at all! Also please read the other people’s comments about the noise further below. Also I took videos to proof!
