Apartment was beautiful, clean, and fit our needs. The stay would have been perfect if it was not for the problems we had with check in. The host said that check in was at 3 PM. Coming from another country on a plane that arrived to Lisbon at 10 AM, I asked for earlier check-in. The host said again that check in was at 3 PM. I told him I will not have cell phone service (coming from another country), but I will meet him at 3 PM. We spent the entire day walking around Lisbon (straight from the airport), headed to the apartment at 3 PM, and sat in the sun outside the front door until 3:45, when a neighbor finally yelled out the window that the host would not arrive for another hour. Exhausted and hot, we had to walk up the street and sit in a cafe until the host arrived around 4:45 PM. Thus, we had to pay for an entire day's stay at an apartment we weren't let in to until almost 5 PM. Maybe the host should try a lock box with the keys inside for his next guests.
