Overall: First time I feel like I should have booked another place.
Miguel's place is designed and decorated very nicely however I would have rather stayed in a hotel for the $165 a night pricetag that we paid for it. Upon arrival we had agreed to have three people stay and I requested three keys and extra bedding for the third person to stay on the futon however they did not have a third key or linens upon arrival and we had to arrange someone to visit again to drop off the linens and the key.
Additionally, there is a strong sewage smell in the bathroom close to the living room which smelled of rotten egg. I think it's because it's an old building however the unit was remodeled nicely and the master bed is very comfortable. The secondary room is very small and there are only drawers underneath the bed to store clothes. Another thing to note is that there is a limit of 2-3 coffee cups so people staying longer than a day will need to buy their coffee. Only one roll of paper towels are supplied and only two loads of laundry as well.
After the third day out of ten, we ran out of toilet paper since only two per bathroom was available. After the first request, the lady who was supposed to drop off the toilet paper forgot and then I had to request toilet paper again and because it took too long, my colleagues and I had to purchase our own set of toilet paper which was frustrating.
Also, upon arrival we were instructed to make sure we wipe our makeup off with specific wipes since the owner wants to make sure that the towels are white and not stained. Additionally, we were sent an email detailing how the apartment has fine furniture so we reassured Miguel that we weren't going to mishandle them.
Overall, I think I overspent for the quality and service that I received. Sofitel hotel offers rooms at $165 a night and we would have had a 24 hour concierge and ample toiletries (there are no toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, or lotion provided) and would have felt more comfortable because we would have the freedom to not have to worry about ruining the towels or furniture.
My colleagues and I were on a business trip for the Web Summit so we were disappointed to find out that we could hold our meeting online as the wifi connection isn't strong enough to support streaming video properly.
For a place to vacation at in Lisbon, it is certainly well decorated but I think the overall experience could be improved by the service.
