The location on Rua de Gaveas is great, many things to do in a full 360 degrees. The apartment is as described with an exception, see comments below.
We were met by Luis with the similar news of a previous guest that our originally booked room was unavailable for our first 2 nights. Although we were given the top floor larger family suite we’d have preferred to not have to move after 2 nights of our 7 night stay. An apology was offered. We moved to the floor directly below-our originally booked 3D-and quickly sorted that the apartment floor hadn’t been cleaned in quite a long time. We swept and filled a dust bin. The kitchen faucet was hanging onto the sink by a thread and the water kettle was broken. Luis offered no response or apology to the photo we sent of the filled dust bin or either of the two other concerns. We experienced Luis engaging in person but had to pursue a response to our WA message of concern. He did replace the kettle the next day.
More disconcerting is that someone has come into our apartment everyday in our absence for no apparent reason. We found things moved from where we’d left them and no cleaning or linen change was apparent. Advance notice and an explanation would have been appreciated.
We recommend this apartment but suggest you check the amenities and room cleanliness upon check in.
