Airbnb Review
My family of five adults, spended two nights (12-3 to 12-5), at Frederico’s appartment in Lisbon.
First, the pros;
Clean and spacious apartment for the five of us.
Excellent heating system, quiet and efficient.
Confortable beds.
Clean linens.
Clean towels.
Working showers with hot water.
Excellent location if you plan to stay in The Castelo de Sao Jorge’s area of town.
Cons:
The apartment is located in a private area, it was difficult to find on GPS by the driver of our private Van tour.
We didn’t have access to the front door of the building, to leave our five bags, and hand carry items.
About couple hours before arriving, I asked Frederico if he could meet with us. He said he was busy and couldn’t meet. Offering to meet the following day.
Later, Our driver (Portugués native) and I, called Frederico, and asked for help finding his place. He advised me to take two taxis, since there were not street access for the Van. Only taxis were allowed on the streets of this private area. We drove to a plaza nearby, try to hire two taxis, but the taxi drivers told us they weren’t allowed to access the private area. The street was mechanically blocked.
The driver of our tour Van offered to drive us about 2 blocks away from the building, as the closest place we could get to the front door of the building.
We walked steeped cobblestone street that finally permitted access to the front door of the building. To get into the building we followed the video instructions send to us via WhatsApp, and used the appropriate codes. There wasn’t instructions to climb some steps to the 2nd floor. Fortunately, a neighbor told us where the apartment was.
Subsequently, I called Frederico, and asked if he could provide advice on a few restaurants. He sent a few names without any address or additional info.
Since Frederico wasn’t very friendly, I decided no to badder him at all, only sent a note at check out.
Thank you.
