My friends and I were traveling around Portugal for 8 days, and the apartment was one of the best ones we stayed in (aesthetics wise). It is big, spacious, and even has a rooftop attic leading to the terrace (my personal fav). However we encountered a lot of issues communicating with our host. Firstly, we couldn't check in on time and it was informed quite late to us. During check-out, we requested for a late checkout of 12:30 PM (instead of 11AM) and the host didn't even try to consider our request. Eventually he agreed to have us keep our bags on one side and wait in one room while the cleaning ladies cleaned the room. All in all, it was a messy arrangement. I really wish it had gone better coz we loved staying in the apartment.
