I booked the apartment really last minute - just a couple of days before heading to Lisbon. The check-in was said to be available starting at 3:00 pm. Unfortunately we immediately got an offer to check in starting from 6:00pm. As my mom was travelling alone on the first day I asked if it would be possible for her to check in earlier. And the host just didn’t answer! It was not a nice a experience but eventually he managed to find someone to let my mom in starting at 04:00 pm.
Unfortunatelly the apartment is very very small. Really too small for two people (it would be OK for one person though) and unfortunatelly very dark - no windows in the main room, a window to an innen “garden” (basicallh just walls) in the kitchen and two windows to the dark side street from the bedroom.
No air conditioning but it was OK for us.
The inner garden was very creepy - it felt like a cage, no plants, no views, just walls. We never used it.
There were also no shampoo, no other products in the bathroom, just a couple of opened and used mini products from other hotels. We bought everything ourselves.
The pillows and the couch didn’t feel very clean but the rest of the apartment was tidy.
The real problem however was the noice from the upper floor. It felt very creepy, like someone was walking in our apartment. If I were alone I would be really scared. You could gear every word, every movement from above.
The location was good, we could walk everywhere
