I am afraid this was our worst Airbnb experience so far. We feel that for the money we spent we got very little in return.
Firstly, the positives: The apartment is in a very nice location and in walking distance to the city center and most points of interest in Lisbon. It is spacious and quite well equipped even for longer stays. It has a good layout and an authentic feel. Pedro was flexible about the check in time.
On the other hand: The profile said recently remodeled - but it must have been a while. Contrary to the photos, the place is pretty worn out and it could use a refresh. Table cloth with holes and stains or a plastic plant covered with dust don't do any good. The equipment and the essentials could have been better - there was no soap or a single tea bag which we've gotten used to even in much cheaper places. Considering you pay nearly €100 a night, the standard could have just been higher.
We're not too fussy though and would have been happy with the place if it offered the most important thing to us - a place to rest. But the walls and floors in the house are so thin that you can hear practically every step and every word from the neighbors, especially from the above. Unfortunately for us, new tenants (coincidentally Pedro's cousin and his partner) were moving upstairs during our stay. For some reason, they were mostly active at night - unpacking their pots and pans, moving furniture and maybe even mounting some Ikea pieces or whatever between 11pm and 3am. We talked to them and actually they were very nice, but their routine was the same the next night. We asked Pedro for help, but he only gave us excuses and vague explanations and we felt he had no interest in making our stay comfortable and having other tenants respect the night time. Because of this, we had very poor sleep for about half of our stay.
For us, this is a red line - we would never go back to a place where one cannot get a proper sleep. And paying such amount for that simply feels like robbery. Very disappointing.
