Marinho’s place is located far away from airport and historic center of Lisbon.
Our flight was delayed, but we did not worried because property offered lockbox check in.
From the pictures provided, there was an access door that you could unlock with the key from the lockbox. The key worked on that door, but when inside there were 4 different doors without any markings to identify the loft.
We looked at pictures and went on second floor as the only indication that is the right door was matching color of the door from inside and outside(white color)
The pictures of the key, were not matching the key itself and we try to reach Marinho, believing that the key was wrong.
That was at 22.50 at night
We did not received any answer so we decided to contact Airbnb, without success as well.
At around 2 am when we decided to get another hotel, a neighbor just came in. We found out that the property is actually a floor down, and we finally got inside.
Inside a bad smell from the suige “welcome” us
The couch was dirty with a big stain on it.
We discovered later in the morning that toilet seat was broken, air conditioning had mold and dust, shower head was leaking water, pipes from shower all rusted, toilet was making continuously a noise and toilet had a brown calcar stain inside.
If this is qualifying as an Airbnb, I can fly to the moon tomorrow!
I informed Marinho about some of the issues and asked him for a day refund, but he became defensive and our discussion ended.
I reported all to Airbnb and got some resolve on some of the points.
I hope that other people will put in balance and decide if they want to spend 4-5 days in Marinho’s place.
