Host didn’t show up on time at 3pm. We panicked since host did not reply to any of my messages. I called their Portugal contact number by roaming, no one picked up. I eventually have to call Airbnb’s USA number, using my Hong Kong roaming telephone in Portugal. This incurred costs.
Finally Airbnb found the host, they were 30 mins late. Should they let us know they would be late, that is okay. It is the lack of response that freaks people out.
The refrigerator in the property was broken. They brought in a new one. The installation team was not available so the frig stayed in the living room. We are however provided with a mini frig.
No coffee, no cooking oil etc. We bought some and left it there for the next guest.
The property is spacious, clean and bright. Beds are comfortable. There are small tea house and restaurants nearby.
Uber is cheap in Portugal so not a problem with the location.
Overall is satisfactory, hope they are more punctual next time.
