Please don’t let yourself be fooled by the external pictures and the existence of the pool. Inside the furniture is far too worn out, the mattresses are rock hard! So much so I had to resource to use the pool sunbeds mattresses as toppers, still wasn’t yet enough. The bed linens are so old and 100% synthetic. The towels are old and worn. The pillows reminded me my great grandmother ones with cut offs/chunks of foam as filler!And no pillow protectors nor mattress protectors. No cotton/summer throws, only blankets available and super smelly to dust. The dirt under the beds and other furniture was appalling. The kitchen has no worktop where you can prepare whatsoever. The fridge seal rubbers are super mouldy, no kettle, no toaster, JUST A RUSTY MICROWAVE AND THE HOB WAS COVERD IN SOOT FROM THE CHIMNEY, the kitchenware is so little that not even a sieve is available. Must say that having to go ask every basic item we expected to have is well annoying.
For the price we paid for this place is totally not worth it! There’s no window shutters nor blinds! Well at least there’s mosquito nets installed on the windows. The kitchen cupboard, as soon you open them, you get a musty/damp dank SMELL THAT CHOAKS YOU. For the 4 days we were here we left the cupboards open and still it didn’t improve. Ah! And you better take your own toilet roll, despite the listing say it is provided. Only 2 rolls were in there. When I asked for more rolls the answer was: oh well that’s only for your arrival, then you need to sort yourselves. I was surprised that he decided to gives us 2 extra rolls (for a family of 5). We then bought our own as I found this outrageous when the listing says it’s provided.
So! If you ever decide to go there, we recommend you to take your own pillows, bed linen, towels, toilet roll, and better you don’t plan cooking there. And you better love sleeping in flintstones type of mattress, (CONCRETE IS SOFTER!) so old and worn off, and enjoy damp essence smell.
I don’t really think people should manage to charge such amount of money for such a poor condition property. We have just been in an Airbnb in O’Porto, for the same amount of days, way less money, in the heart of the city, and in a lovely cosy apartment with all the amenities advertised in the listing.
I recommend the owner of this property to review the conditions he offers and the price he charges. Pitty as the location is OK, and the pool corner is such a nice corner of the property, though it doesn’t make up for the rest of the property. We now wish we would have chosen a property without pool but with proper cleaning standards, proper mattresses, AIR CONDITIONING and more functional.
