The apartment is nice and the view is amazing, but that’s the only good things we can talk about the place.
If your plans is coming to a place where you gonna be in completely silence, miserable and never go outside because the neighbors are racists and vandals: I highly recommend this place.
If you’re planing to have a good time with friends/family, chill, have a good time and be in peace: do not come or you’ll have miserable and unhappy people making your life hell.
We stayed there for 15 days and I don’t wish to no one to be in a place like that, not even for 2 days! Where people were literally spying on us to see if we would do something wrong.
If I could go back in time, I would never ever have rented this place!
She forgot to mention that the distance to the places we wrote is BY CAR. If you want to go to Cascais you would have to walk for 40min. And to Guincho is 1h15min by walking and 15min by car (not 5min how she mentioned).
We were 4 people. Not enough dishes (you gotta wash what you use right after so you can use again and theres only 2 pans, not a holiday at all), towels was only 4 towels for 15 days. We called them and they said we had to wash them ourselves and re-use them. Even though there was no drying machine and it’s very windy there. Yes it’s a very windy place, even in August! But we didn’t want problem, so we haven’t said anything else. We washed to towels and the weather was very bad, so the towels were not drying. We stayed one day without 2 towels. And after insisting, they decided to bring more towels for us. We felt like we were homeless and she gave us a place to stay. Because anything we would ask them, they would answer bad at us, like she was doing a favor to let us stay there.
Since we rented the place, the hosts were reminding us all the time about the noise after 10pm and the other rules that we already knew. Was annoying cause we are not kids and we know the rules and respect them.
The neighbors didn’t like us there. Carla told us that maybe is because she never rented the place for so long and they probably have never seen the other guests before us and is probably the first time they’re seeing “strange people” in their condo. Seemed like we had to be hidden inside the apartment so the neighbors wouldn’t see us.
They were trying to find reasons to complain about us all the time. But they couldn’t find any, because we were not breaking any rules. So they started to make up lies about us. Saying that we were putting trash in the front of the apartment. The only thing we had in front of the apartment was the grill to make barbecue (which she said it was ok make it). I don’t think anyone put the grill inside the apartment right after using it. At 1am we woke up with a loud noise, but we thought it was the wind or something. When we woke up the day after, the grill I just bought for my daughter was completely broken! We would never think someone would do that. We never thought that was people against us there and that they were so dirty and mean! No one came to us to talk to us about how they were feeling. They just broke our grill for no reason! I guess it’s not forbidden to listen to music around the pool during the day, which was the only thing that could’ve make them upset. So we got very scared with the situation. Because it didn’t make sense to us.
We had to keep the grill inside the apartment and we were looking out for our car all the time, afraid of the neighbors do something with our car too. If they did this it means they could do something worse to us. Vandals, that’s what they are.
They really wanted to get rid of us, because they didn’t want foreigners near them. Couple of days later I was walking outside and heard them saying “Those f*cking foreigners haven’t left yet?”
Those are miserable people who can’t see anyone happy. If we were making loud noise and mess, we would have understood. But that wasn’t it.
Carla was believing them cause she is in England so she can’t take care of her apartment and she was rude with her message. Saying that her brother and the neighbors saw trash in front of the apartment (it was the grill THEY broke). She said “you’re in holidays but the other people around you are not. You should respect them.”?? She knew we were here for holidays since the beginning. I think most of the people who rent an apartment with pool “”near”” the beach are on holidays....
If the guests can’t listen to music during the day and enjoy the pool, why is she renting the apartment for AIRBNB?? when we got outside and saw what happened with our grill, we told her and her answer was “yeah.. it was probably the neighbors, they are like that”. (??) what kind of host answers like that? She didn’t care at all about what happened to us. And it wasn’t on the street, was in a very fancy condominium!
The neighbors kept trying to find ways to get rid of us, lying. That’s how dirty people try to get their things. Saying that we were making a lot of noise, getting a lot of guests every day, everyone jumping in the pool, listening to music during the night. but we weren’t even at the apartment, we’ve been traveling for 3 days to Porto. So we got upset and said to Carla to talk
