It is not easy to write a negative review when hosts are kind and helpful, like Marco was. Great to communicate with beforehand, very accommodating with arrival time, spent time with us to provide help and advice for our stay in Lisbon. Unfortunately, we did not have such a great stay in Marco’s flat, mainly because of the huge construction site that was just next door. The noise felt like it was in the flat, drilling hard from 8am - it was absolutely impossible to sleep, even with the window closed and ear plugs. Of course, this is none of Marco’s fault but we would have appreciated being made aware of this in advance of our stay, through a note on the listing or a personal message (especially as I did write before booking to check a few points with Marco), we clearly did not have this important information to make an informed decision before booking. I suggest to other guests who do want to sleep past 8am (which would not be surprising given all that Lisbon can offer at nighttime) to check with the host whether the works are still ongoing.
The location is otherwise very good for exploring Lisbon. There is a lovely little wine bar just a few streets away which we enjoyed very much. The flat, it has to be said, is nothing special but has all the essentials, so good as a base to explore the city. Also there is only one window (which can be guessed from the pictures but I had not looked closely enough) so air circulation is not great, even in October it was rather hot and humid and the ventilator did not help much.
So overall we would only recommend for early risers, or in a few months when the construction works next door have been completed!
