Good location in Parede, 30 minutes ride from Lisbon center. Friendly and responsive hosts. We stayed there for 6 nights and paid 300 euros a night (plus airbnb fees) for our family of four. However, we can't recommand this place at all and we consider it not a fair value in the area. Pictures on the listing are showing a place which looks well cared for (almost new) but unfortunately, it was not like that on arrival. First of all, there were some cleaning issues right from the start. There were thick layers of dust in many places including over kitchen cabinets, main bed head board, wood paravent. The trash can was broken and filthy. The refrigerator was not clean properly inside. All cabinet kitchen handles and door knobs were greasy. Foul smell coming from both WCs. Black mold in caulking in main bath tub. Dust over every decorative element (plastic plants, etc.). White marble floor in main bathroom is all stained. We do not understand how these things were left unnoticed before our arrival. Also we had to deal with many issues during our stay including the followings. There was a problem with the water heater and more precisely the gas pilot so more often than not, we had to open/close the tap multitude times over a 20 minutes period to finally get some hot water. Not something you want to deal with during your stay. Many things were broken including the lock of the exterior door on the balcony, towel holder in second bathroom, using the toaster or microwave on high setting would trigger the breaker.. The gas stove fan (essential to run if you are using a gas stove because of security issue) was disconnected and not working. The host told us that the air ducts in the building were sucking enough air to pull the gas from the kitchen but it was unfortunately not true since we did trigger the smoke alarm once while cooking a simple steak. We had to slam the dishwasher and machine washer door in order to be able to close them. AC is not powerful enough to cool the
place properly and there is tons of dust inside. Please note also that the exterior swimming pool is not heated and the gym inside is not free to access. The hosts took care of the most problematic issues once notified but for the price paid, these things should not have happened and should have been taken cared of well before our arrival. As a conclusion, even though the hosts were friendly and responsive, we felt that the place was misrepresented and not a good value in the area. Our worst Airbnb experience.
