The space is architecturally very cool inside and the view is awesome. Unfortunately, the buck stop there. Airbnb is a platform for host + guest interaction/experience. Joao was the host “assigned” to this stay, and it was very obvious that this is just a job for him.
1.) I asked if early check in was possible and received a generic reply. When asked for confirmation, I received no response. 2.) Upon arrival, there was EXTREME construction happening next door which shook the entire apartment. Joao had no idea what was happening at the property and offered no solutions. When asked if a refund was possible, no response. An hour later, he told me to go have dinner and wine and come back at 10pm. For a wfh traveler, this is extremely inconvenient.
In conclusion, there are zillions of Airbnbs in Lisbon. This one is cool looking, but go stay in one with a host that actually cares… and replies!
