I came to lisbon with four other friends to celebrate a birthday. The two challenges I had with this Airbnb is heck in and comfort.
While the self check-in and check-out was easy, there were little communication about checking in until a couple hours before I arrived. This concerned me to the point that I called, to which Joao said to wait for a WhatsApp, which I didn’t receive until I messaged him on WhatsApp then had to message someone else on the app. It was pretty frustrating traveling into lisbon not knowing if the Airbnb would be ready or not.
Second - comfort. This may be a personal preference but we didn’t find the space very welcoming. The apartment was dark at times and has a very old, church/convent feel. The living room furniture was also uncomfortable and given we were in a group of five we wanted a space we can gather.
I’m terms of location it was very convenient to travel and walk around. Very central, no immediate hills, nice balcony, but this neighborhood itself was very touristy. This may be great depending on what you’re looking for but coming from a touristy city ourselves it was a bit of a turn off.
Their neighbor was also doing work, it seemed, so the mornings were loud with construction.
