A great flat in a prime location of Lisbon. The host communicated well from the moment we booked all the way through to check out.
Pros:
Great sized flat with big dining table ideal for socialising.
Generous size bedrooms and storage.
Amazing shower, overhead option as well as the hand held shower head.
There are fans dotted around if you get hot also, which after our copious amounts of walking was a blessing!
Great value for money in our opinion.
Cons:
The bathroom tended to smell a little bit after use, we think due to the drainage coming up through the plumbing?
Construction work next door (we appreciate that is unavoidable) but also you can really hear people moving around in the flat above, which again, you can not help, but worth being aware of.
Unfortunate issue:
The sofa/bed in the lounge was damaged and completely unusable as a bed. One of the beds slats were loose. The other beds mattress was made of 2 singles so dipped in the middle. After contacting the host, he was very apologetic and after investigating a little further he discovered the guests before may have caused the damage. The cleaners told him the place was left in a mess when they came to tidy.
The host assured me it is something that will be fixed for future renters as it wasn’t a quick fix whilst we there. He seemed genuinely disheartened that the flat has been treated this way and the reason I am leaving 5 stars is because he communicated greatly throughout and these things were out of his control and with these issues sorted it is a 5 star flat.
Even with these issues I still feel it is great value for money to be in the prime location of Lisbon and away from the street noises. The flat is well decorated and had everything you needed for a great stay.
