To go into details about pre-booking this apartment.... Got to Lisboa and we were greeted with (another user) that the place we had booked was not ready for us. We went back and forth. Finally, was cancelled by airbnb and money was refunded. We then contacted Carlos and were able to book his place last minute.
PROS:
Very nice apartment, very good location in Bairro Alto, decently priced, clean place, lots of room and great amenities. One of the nicest places we've ever rented.
CONS:
The shower head didnt have a place to hold it so while you showered, you had to hold the shower head in your hand or put it down (small but significant issue). The biggest issue was also in the bathroom. There was a foul smell in the bathroom. I understand and have lived in old buildings...but this smell didnt go away and were here for a week. They replaced the air freshenerin bathroom but only masked smell and never went away. Addressed it to Carlos...and hope they can fix it before the next person books.
All in all, great place! Would stay again here (pending smell is fixed).
