Pros: The flat has a lovely balcony which is shaded most of the day. We enjoyed all our meals outside and never actually used the inside dining table during our one week visit in August. It also offers a safe indoor parking spot underneath the building, and was a short driving distance from the nice beaches, restaurants, airport and Lisbon .
Cons: the floors were extremely dirty on arrival. We have a baby that crawls so immediately took our shoes off and could feel the dust and dirt. Despite sending someone to clean the floors (vacuum and mop), it remained dirty during our stay as can be seen by my toddlers knees getting black from the floor. We mopped the floor ourselves also throughout our stay. There are some disgusting black mould (?) growing through the floor planks in the living room.
Another negative for us was that there was no standing shower in the en suite bathroom, just a handheld shower head over the bath.
Many light bulbs did not work. The front door handle also came out when you opened the door from the inside (potentially locking you inside unless you have a key). We asked if these could be fixed but was told no one is available in August.
