Pedro’s apartment is very nicely decorated in a central street of Lisbon and to highlight the positives, the communication from his team was amazing and they were incredibly accommodating with an earlier checkin and later checkout which were very much appreciated. Also the portable WiFi they provided was a very nice touch.
Unfortunately there were a number of issues which made our stay unpleasant and stressful. Although we were informed that the bar street below would be noisy on a fri and sat we still went ahead with the booking as we were there from sun-wed so assumed the noise would not be an issue. How wrong we were, the party going noise from the street was incredibly loud all 3 nights until past 1am. We couldn’t sleep in the main bedroom as the window faced the street and therefore had to stay in the smaller back room which didn’t have any AC or even a fan. It was very hot and stuffy so we struggled to sleep in there too. In addition to this, you could hear every single noise and movement from the flat above which was even worse at times than the street noise below.
As frequent users of Airbnb we think it only fair to give an honest review of our experience, if you’re sensitive to noise or value peace and quiet when in your apartment then perhaps this is not the best location for you. We were highly surprised to see that none of the other reviews mention these big drawbacks.
