We loved our visit of Lisbon and had the opportunity to meet a very nice “roommate” during our stay at the AirBnB. However, there are a few things you should know before booking the room...
The room was smaller than we expected and not super clean (sheets were changed but still had stains). Bathrooms are shared and therefore – as expected – can be dirty. Our room could only be locked from the outside, so we had to sleep with unlocked doors. If you’re a light sleeper bring earplugs, as it can get noisy at night. We were also missing a trashcan in our room.
Oskar only talked to us because we asked him if he was someone working for the AirBnB or a guest, which we thought was kinda weird. As for the neighbourhood I personally felt uncomfortable as there were literally only men (no women) in that street, lots of them super creepy – my friend on the other hand didn’t really mind.
On a more positive note, we could leave our bags before check-in and after check-out. The kitchen is big, and you can use the kitchenware as well as some available common shared foods. Soap and towels were also at our disposal. Shower pressure was nice and we never lacked hot water despite being so many in the AirBnB. Last but not least: Center is in walking distance.
I guess the AirBnB is ok for a few days, if you’re planning on staying in Lisbon longer, I’d recommend getting something else.
