We had difficulty upon arrival - 1st with getting in , 2nd with the dark hall ( motion detection light goes off before you can make it up the stairs ) & 3rd with very angry neighbors screaming at us when ( in the pitch black hall) we tried the door handle of the wrong apartment. Luckily our realtor was with us - and could translate , but it was very unsettling…especially after traveling all night, then waiting to check in.
We called the owner immediately & texted - but after 2 hours with no reply left and booked a hotel.
We were charged for a full night for that 2 hours of waiting.
This is a reasonably priced place that we booked because we needed the 2 bedrooms.
It needs maintenance - but was clean.
The building/ hall would not be easy to navigate with children or older people. I’m so glad I didn’t have my children or parents with us!
If I were still in college and visiting Lisbon with friends … maybe (?) this would have worked well for us. But I’m not , and it didn’t.
