Unfortunately, there are more negatives than positives about our stay.
Good things first: check-in was smooth and António helped us carry our bags upstairs. Beds are comfortable. The apartment is really central and you can reach everything by foot.
Apart from that, the apartment is located in a backstreet that smells like human excrement and is full of dirt. Intoxicated people hung out on one side of the street and listened to loud music until late at night. That wouldn’t be that big of a deal if the apartment itself was in a better condition (worn out couch, badly equipped kitchen, dirty bathroom, cheap decoration / utensils,…).
The size of the apartment is smaller than it seems on the photos - just enough to fit 4 people. Wouldn’t recommend it for more people or for families / people with children. When we arrived, the apartment was full of mosquitoes. The owner helped us kill them before he left, but of course the mosquitoes came back. We couldn’t sleep properly at night because of that. The rooms heat up pretty quickly and there’s no air conditioning - we had to ask for an extra fan (which didn’t help that much). However, the owner entered the apartment while we weren’t there to drop off the fan (and to supposedly spray some mosquito repellent outside the windows). We did not appreciate him coming into the apartment without us there. He did write us a message on AirBnB to tell us he’d come over - but we didn’t see that message until after we came back from the city. After that, he did not reply back to our request about dropping of mosquito nets / plug-ins to help us sleep better.
We would not stay here again and cannot recommend this AirBnB.
