We stayed here for over a month while we searched for a permanent apartment rental. Overall, our stay was good but there are a few things you (as a potential guest) should know ahead of time, so you are not surprised: - The unit is up a steep staircase in a house with three units (I believe 2 of the 3 are AirBnB units). Not the end of the world if you are young, but for older folks it might be difficult. We had 7 suitcases and it was not fun getting them up those stairs! - We really liked that this unit is pet friendly. We brought our two cats with us (we relocated from the US to Portugal) and were really happy to see that there is a pet store directly across the street. We were able to get a litter box, food, and other necessities without issues, which was really nice. - The metro stop Santa Apolonia is about 8-10 minutes walk away, so you have Lisbon at your fingertips. Additionally, the location is very close to Alfama, which is great if you want to grab a romantic dinner or just wanter the maze-like streets. - Some of your stay might depend on your upstairs neighbor (a second AirBnB unit). Luckily for us, we didn't have any issues for 90% of the time. There were, however, about 3 nights where some young folks were clearly partying up there (music, loud talking, dancing, etc.) and it went on until like 4AM, which was less than desirable. Another night some other guests had to catch an early flight out and were making a ton of noise (stoping, suitcases, talking) at 5AM, which also was not great. But its a luck of the draw, so you might have no neighbors or decent ones at least! - Our communication with Matt was so-so. The first day we arrived was after 20 hours of flights so we were exhausted but he said he would stop by in 30 minutes. He showed up almost 2 hours later (I passed out, my boyfriend stayed up waiting for him) so that we could get the tour of the place. He also said he would drop off something (keys, a working heater) on a certain day but wouldn't show up until later in the week. One time he came by un-announced as I was home alone and just out of the shower - which also wasn't great. That said, he was very responsive to our emails and the small issues we had were solved eventually. If you are staying for just a few nights likely this will not affect your stay. - There was no soap, shampoo, or conditioner - bring your own! - Don't leave any sweets or food on the dining room table - ants will find it and eat it! We made the mistake :) - The porch area is great! You have outdoor space to hang out and let your pet out...
