Taynara's place is very convenient if you want a small apartment 15 mins walk away from everything. We really liked her place in terms of space, cleanliness and location.
However, there were a few other things which made the trip unpleasant starting with the check-in. The host says a check-in of 3 pm, we checked with her earlier and she allowed us a 2 pm check-in. We requested the key access several times but she said it will be available only on the day of check-in which we thought was ok, generally hosts share this info 2-3 days in advance but ok. We had an early flight in from Toronto and were jet lagged too. We reached her place around 1 pm and started waiting in a parkette outside her apartment. It was a little rain too so was uncomfortable waiting for 2 pm to chime in but we continued waiting. On 2 pm we checked with her about her check-in and she responded that her cleaning help was late and she cannot let us check-in. We were again not provided a code to check-in ourselves even to just put our luggage in as we were exhausted. We saw the cleaning help come in and go and only then were provided the check-in code at exact 3 pm. We have never seen such secrecy around a check-in code and a host who does not even make their place available to accommodate luggage.
Other small bits about the place, you cannot turn on more than 2 stoves & heater at the same time as the fuse gets short and you have to manually turn the fuse back on through the power panel. There is no exhaust in the washroom and a fan kept there does not turn on despite our trying numerous times. There is no instruction manual etc as well.
It was the above small things which left a bad taste in the mouth for an otherwise amazing city of Lisbon.
