I have some good feelings and some not-so-good feelings about my 6 week stay in this apartment.. First, I was supposed to stay for 8 weeks but had to leave after 6 weeks due to a health issue. Of course I received no refund for the 2 weeks I had left to stay in the apartment. If Paulo could have rented the apartment during those 2 weeks I believe he would have refunded me for the nights that were rented. He tells me that a couple from Spain did rent the apartment for 3 nights but had an accident and could not keep the reservation. Paulo tried to deal with the situation but the Spanish couple refused to pay so he couldn't do anything. During my 6 week stay in the apartment there were a couple of issues that hopefully have been fixed by now. FOUR times I had to leave the apartment and the building due to a very loud and piercing alarm in the building going off. It happened at 2:30 A.M., 12:30 A.M., 10:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. By the time I left I believe this issue had been resolved (I think) but it was extremely aggravating when it happened these four times. Of course this was not Paulo's fault and he tried to get the security system people to the building. Also, one night I heard water running in the kitchen. I went into the kitchen to discover water coming from a gash in the ceiling. It stopped in about 5 minutes. I messaged Paulo about this. Apparently the people in the apartment above me were relocated so that they would not use the bathroom in that apartment which is what caused the water to come down in my kitchen. So, hard to believe, but nobody was in the apartment above me for the rest of my stay because of this issue. I appreciated Paulo taking care of this situation in a timely manner. During my stay Paulo told me that the cost of having the apartment cleaned (bed changed, etc.) would be 50EUR. I thought this was an extremely high price and didn't have a cleaning during the 6 weeks I was there. However, because of the issues (alarm and kitchen problem) Paulo promised me a free cleaning. I thought this was fair. As of today, 12 January 2019 Paulo messaged me that he will refund the 50EUR cleaning fee and I appreciate that. The apartment is nice. It is quiet because it's on an inner courtyard. The location is great. One more thing.......When I arrived at the apartment the shower head was not functioning well. I messaged Paulo about this and he bought a new shower head and came to the apartment and installed the new shower head. I appreciated that.
