We had major expectations to this place, from the pictures it looked lovely, and the description promising. And it was a lovely place, the building and the garden is AMAZING! But the apartment is on the ground floor, it is dark and with a strong smell of mould, and especially in the bedroom area. The apartment itself is beautiful made up, lots of space and very clean. But because of the smell, we wanted the bedroom and other windows to be open. It felt not safe, as it is on the ground floor, the area is a bit dirty. The windows have no curtains, just wooden shutters. So you choose between fresh air and the early sunlight, and that people can walk or see in, WHICH HAPPENED! At 6 am a man in full figure stands outside the window on a construction truck shuffling sand and looking in! Before that the garbage truck stood outside twice during the night (2am). If you closed the shutters, it will be totally dark, but no air and the terrible smell of mould. The aircondition was hard to manage. Why haven´t anyone written about this before? The host was away, we could not get hold of her, as she was overseas.She did not answer questions before hand either. We chose to move to a hotel. Also, there was no help on where to find a place to buy groceries, where to eat, transport etc.No information at all. Just lots of rules so that she could get more money. We came from another airbnb apartment in Lisboa, to the same price. They could not compare at all. We were refunded half of our expences- but our days in Lisboa was destroyed. I would not recommend this host or this place, there are so many others who puts their souls into making your stay in Lisboa perfect.
