Great location and a nice, modern apartment. Very quiet, despite the construction across the street and being on street level. Well-equipped and comfortable across the board. Appliances all functional and effective, though the dryer takes a long time to dry clothes.
Cons:
- Apartment can feel very damp/humid. AC is effective at cooling, but not at dehumidifying.
-Lots and lots of ants. We kept our food sealed in bags and kept the floors spotless, yet we’d find swarms of ants on a near daily basis. Hosts are aware and trying to resolve, hopefully they can.
- Shower is very poorly designed, and prone to leaking if the water doesn’t drain right away. Halfway through our stay, the shower slowed draining and would flood the bathroom if any of us showered - we were not able to shower for 3 days until the host responded and visited with a plumber. I’d suggest they snaking the drain thoroughly after each guest to ensure good drainage for the next one.
In sum, I think this is an excellent apartment in a central location for exploring Lisbon, but with a few key issues that I would not expect at this price point. Hopefully the hosts can resolve a few of these and make the stay feel more premium and worth the high price.
