This was, by far, the worst stay ever.
Location was good and that’s about it.
We booked long stay with 4 weeks - total nightmare.
Beds are so uncomfortable that we left after 2 weeks. For 14 out of 28 nights we booked, we had 14 sleepless nights. Late parties under the bedroom that keeps you awake until 3-4am. Host said it’s a double glazed window - don’t fall for it. There were parties every night.
Internet doesn’t work. Even email browsing. We bought Vodafone dongle to use the internet.
We paid 300e for cleaning - the he place wasn’t just dirty - it was filthy apart from towels and the bed linen which were clean. Mould in the bathroom sink. Pictures taken…They just charge you and do nothing.
Very rude host - we were threatened with the police if we had “any more parties”. It was a shocker. Not only that only the 2 of us lived there - we barely spent anytime during the day because we were looking for apartments to rent as we decided to come and live in Lisbon. We don’t even know anyone here. The worst was that the party was going on on their apartment next door that they rent - but they did apologise later. And when we thought that at least we have some sort of understanding from the host she then accused us for being naked on the balcony and that the neighbours saw us. What a nonsense - there’s a balcony and the flat is on the top of the building. We spent 1 afternoon sunbathing for 45 mins using the balcony chairs and using the towels on top of us. When I asked who complained and any evidence of, yet another, wrong and falso accusation, the host didn’t even bother to reply. Very rude.
When we asked for 2 weeks of refund, because we had to check in the hotel and therefore we incurred more unexpected costs - we were just very cynically told: “enjoy your stay”
It’s a pity - Portuguese are, what we saw so far, very warm and welcoming people but unfortunately it wasn’t the case with this host.
If you come for a night or 2 and you can accept all the noise then it may work for you. Beds can be bought, internet can be fixed…rudeness can’t and for that reason I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
And, also it’s a pity that this is my first ever bad review on Airbnb - spent many happy stays elsewhere…and I’m really hurt that I had to write review like this but I wouldn’t like anyone else to be misled.
