apt feedback
**SAFETY/ PRIVACY WARNING: I woke up to someone from the agency (Daniel) entering the apartment while I was asleep. He did not text first to let me know or to ask permission, and when I woke up and he saw I was there, he did not ask permission to come into the apartment. The agency claimed it was an ‘emergency,’ but the ‘emergency’ was that there was some drops of water from the balcony going onto the neighbor’s balcony after it had rained for a week or so straight.   Honestly, the apartment is mostly pretty great, but I 100% would not rent with Lisbonne Collection. They are super slow to respond when you need something (4-5 days), but will just come into the apartment without even letting you know whenever they want.
Positives:
-on the top floor, whole floor to yourself
-lots of light and air
-the view is truly gorgeous - especially at sunrise & sunset
-apartment is enormous, plenty of space, with good, solid furniture
-the kitchen has a ton of dishes and glasses and things to cook with (but lacks some basics, like cereal/ soup bowls and a measuring cup)
-28 tram stops literally in front of the building (you can hear it going by from inside the apt, which I count as a plus!)
-the giant table in the kitchen is amazing, perfect for a work from home office, board games, and puzzles
-the bath tub is huge. I think it might be extra tall/ long?
-the building is really nice and super quiet. You can hear people in the neighboring buildings from the bedrooms, but no noise at all from this building.
-Lidl is super close for grocery shopping
Negatives:
-very little hot water, the shower is open, so it’s very cold. I didn’t even have enough hot water to wash my hair.
-apt in general is very cold & takes a while to heat up
-the whole apt is on a slant, like a lot. It seems like they tried to fix the main bed, but you can still feel the slant
-neighbors in the back often have very lengthy, noisy parties, even during lockdown
-bar directly below the main bedroom- can hear the noise even with the shades down, and this was during covid!
-the persianas (outside blinds) are plastic, not metal, and they don’t go down all the way
-there’s a lot of construction nearby and you can hear it all day long, 6 days a week
-you can only take out the trash between certain hours, which is very annoying, being on the 4th floor
-internet is good in common spaces, but doesn’t really work in the bedrooms
-the decking on the balcony is loose and uneven
-SO many stairs… it’s a lot.
-the main negative is the agency, though. I would not stay with them again, it’s just not worth it.
