we stayed at pedro’s flat for 5 nights in early september. the weather was excellent and the city still had a bustling feel (great for young people)
on entry, the flat appeared fairly clean however upon a closer inspection throughout the week we discovered some suspicious stains on the toilet seat and towels, and found the floor to be a little dirty.
the transport links from the airport were excellent and the metro is a very short walk from the flat. other further destinations could be reached via uber which is fairly cheap and available. there was no aircon but powerful fans were provided in every room (and they were very loud)
no basic cooking necessities were provided in the kitchen which meant we had to purchase salt oil pepper coffee tea etc for ourselves which was not a huge issue. the fridge was a great size and plenty of kitchen utensils/ crockery were provided. we found the minimal workspace in the kitchen a slight issue.
we could’ve done with more storage for our clothes; however plenty of hangers were provided on a clothes rail in each bedroom which provided some space to hang items.
unfortunately the handle in the master bedroom was broken meaning the door could not be opened from the inside. it appears as though some makeshift solution with toilet roll has been attempted so we assume pedro was aware of this problem (we just made a makeshift door stop to help with this which was a fine solution)
bars, clubs and restaurants were all nearby as well as a good mix of tourists and locals. noise pollution reflects the lively city so this may be a problem for others.
some small good/bad things:
- we could’ve done with another pillow each since there was only one on each bed
- plenty of plug socket
- great views from each room
- great wifi
- plenty of towels
- bathrooms are quite small and the toilet space was very narrow (same with the shower)
- if you are quite tall, you may struggle in the shower and generally around the apartment due to slanted walls and beams. we had a couple of near misses!!
we would highly recommend his apartment and would stay in lisbon again. the flat was mainly as-pictured and any minor issues did not take away from our fantastic holiday. thank you!
