Overall my stay was good. The apartment was very small and the furniture dated buy the location and view of the river from the balcony was very good. The reason I booked this apartment was because another apartment that was highly recommended 2 streets nearby was already booked and I wanted to stay in this location and the view was highly rated at this unit but there are great views everywhere in Lisbon. The co-host was very good also. He responded quickily to all our questions and gave us recommendations on where to eat and the phone number to call a taxi to the airport but they did not want to schedule a pick up the night before so we just got a taxi in front of the building instead.
Some of the things I was not happy about are:
1. The towels are worn and we were given 2 bath towels, 1 hand towel and 1 floor mat for 2 people. We booked the apartment for 2 weeks and after the fist week I asked the co-host for clean towels and he delivered them but a few days after that when I asked for clean towels again he said he did'nt have any available. I was very disappointed because I explained to him the hand towel fell on the floor because there is no towel rack installed for it....just a plastic stickie thing that can hardly hold the weight of the towel. So I had to use my bath towel to wipe my hands.
2. Water floods in the bathroom floor even though I followed the instructions on how to use it but the rain shower is great and the water temperature nice and hot.
3. Because the water was so hot, it was challeging to adjust the tempersture in the bathroom and kitchen sinks because there are 2 taps and I got burn almost every time.
4. Internet has very poor connection.
5. No television which I missed and could not get a good internet connection to get the news.
6. No toaster oven or oven but there is a microwave which I don't use.
7. Construction started at 8 a.m. below which was an inconvience.
This was my first time staying in an Airbnb and I could have stayed at a hotel for almost half the price where they clean your room every day and give you clean towels daily so that's something I'll consider in the future.
