Simon was a great host, very responsive and polite.
The apartment is in a excelent location and the view is simply amazing. It is in a quiet neighborhood, very bright and sunny. Although it was January we barely used the small heater because it was quite warm inside, which was really nice and not a given in typical Portuguese apartments (however I suspect this might be a challenge in the summer). The kitchen area and bathroom are rather small but very functional. It is also very nice that the garage parking space has direct access to the building.
We really enjoyed our long-term stay, but our first impressions of the apartment weren't great. The apartment was clean, but not deep clean. There was still quite some dust on the floors (plus the floor paint is coming off a little giving the impression that it was even more dirty than it ws), the fabric of the sofa-bed was dirty (we ended up covering it with a sheet during our stay), and we found what seemed to be crumbs of chocolate when opening the sofa bed.
