Elsa has been easy to communicate with and is a nice host. However, our stay was very disorganized by some issues with the building where we stayed. I wish we had been informed that it was that old and about to be renovated while we stayed in it. The place is renovated as shown in the pictures but the building and specially the staircase were completely ran down. The stairs were broken and there was no light except small LED lights which were not enough to find our way in between floors. Then construction workers just showed up at our door to start renovating the facade and staircase. Luckily, because of lovely Portuguese slow life, they were only there the last 3 days. Finally, the fuse kept blowing off. In these old houses, you can’t use heaters and kettle at the same time. Or you have to only use the washing machine and one heater. I just wish I had known when I booked. I had been very specific and let Elsa know I was coming with a baby and a stroller. I think it would have been helpful and honest to say all this ahead. If she didn’t know or didn’t “remember” about the dark broken staircase, I question how she can rent places without knowing exactly what they are like. It makes me lose a lot of time during the stay. And really I’m pretty adaptable and not manic about modern comfort.
