Francisco was pleasant host who took the time to suggest cool places to eat and see around the neighborhood. Communication was prompt and easy, and he showed up right on time to greet us. The place looks exactly as it does it the photos. It's the perfect place for a solo traveller or two people who don't mind getting cozy.
PROS
- Great location!! The apartment is located right off a main street, with many cute bars, restaurants, and convenient stores nearby (1-2 minute walk). The location is quiet, perfect after a long day walking around but not too far from the action! You are 5-15 minutes from all major tourist hot spots.
- Clean
- Hot showers
- Fully equipped kitchen with a working TV
CONS
- There was a lot of mold under the sink that made it difficult to breathe (I am also allergic to mold).
- Someone tried to climb up our balcony shortly after midnight one night while my partner and I were home watching TV! We had the window open to get some fresh air from the mold. Luckily, the man jumped down after I screamed. We later found out that there are thieves in Lisbon that look for open windows to climb through. The apartment is in a safe area, but please be cautious about keeping the window open at night or when you're not home. The apartment is on the 1st floor but there are some wall ridges that break-in-enters can climb from if they really want to..
