Lisbon was absolutely wonderful.
Unfortunately, we cannot say the same about our staying. Our plane was delayed. We warned Isabella here at airbnb in advance for several hours, that we would be at least one hour late. More than that, Isabella HERSELF asked us for the flight number. So she COULD check when the plane lands. When we came to the apartment (it was about 10 p.m), no one met us. We called several times on the door bell and on the phone, no one answered. Later it turned out, that Caesar lost his phone. We were lucky to find the second number of Isabella. And as Isabella said, we were late for 2 hours, that's why they didn't wait for us at the apartment. Why did she asked for the flight number then? Why didn't she read my message here? Why did she try to put the responsibility for this unpleasant situation on us, though we warned?
Anyway, this situation made us really nervous, because it was late and we didn't liked the perspective to overnight at the street or in any hotel. Caesar apologized several times, but the impression was seriously spoiled.
We were absolutely delighted of our staying in Porto, of the flat and of the hospitality of Miguel. The flat is furnitured with love, spacy, situated in 3 minutes walk from the underground. Me and my friends highly recommend this apartment. Guys, you won't regret, if you stay here.
Disadvantages of this flat :
- The flat is NOT suitable for 3 persons: tiny kitchen, tiniest bathroom, 2 small rooms. Really not enough space for such company. For 2 people it will be ok.
- There was no hand soap, no kitchen towels, few toilet paper. You will need to buy it.
- No curtains on windows. It was't a problem for us, but for those, who prefer to fall asleep or to wake up in a dark room it can cause difficulties.
Advantages of this flat:
- Nice location. Not far from the underground. Close to many sights. Close to a lovely flea market and to the supermarket.
- Beautiful river view, especially in the morning.
We wish we could recommend this apartment. But unfortunately we cannot do that.
