We travel a lot around Europe. And these apartments were the worst experience. :(
We’ve arrived in Lisbon for two days, stayed in these apartments. We read lots positive reviews, looked at nice pictures. Everything seemed to be OK. Unfortunately we didn’t expected how disappointing would be our stay.
The area is extremely unpleasant although located in 15 minutes walk to the city center. The apartments are in a backstreet with large trash cans on both sides, city freaks maundering about. It’s totally freaking out walking here in the evening.
The apartments are in a basement, there is dampness smell inside, even portable air conditioning doesn’t make better. Well, after a while you sniff on and the smell becomes not so obvious.
The apartments were dirty. Everything looked messy - dirty glasses, spoons and dishes, some stuff lying in corners, a crumpled dirty towel was in the wardrobe. By the way, there was only one clean towel for the person.
When we came, there were splashes on the shower glass as if 5 minutes before someone has washed in. Showerhead was broken and has been leaking from the above. There were someone’s strange slippers in bathroom.
The fridge didn’t work. The owner wrote that we should move it and check whether is cable was connected. In my opinion, if you rent out an apartments, it should be ready and clean with a working fridge.
We were very confused by lots positive reviews :(
Even a cheap price do not justify this.
