Overall a nice staying experience - recommended!
Highlights:
1. Good location: Uber reached very fast; a local chain supermarket store (Continente) nearby, quite and cosy
2. Check-in: Sara’s mom waited at the apartment and early check-in was allowed
3. Clean and well equipped house
4. Air-con in the living room works great for winter
5. Wifi was fast most of the time
Small things to improve:
1. Wifi broke down twice and couldn’t be fixed by simple reset; I called my friend over to fix it
2. The shower was a bit difficult to use. The switch for the shower-head and the tap was not working and you would need to pull the tube by hand. It was easy to accidentally pull the tube and the water suddenly came from the tap.
3. For longer stays, guests need to pay extra utility bills (seem to be fixed amount rather than actual spending). I feel the amount was higher than my past experiences of long-term rentals in Lisbon.
