Positive points:
1. Location is in the center of Lisbon. You are right next to the metro and bus station. Everything is nearby. Restaurants, shops, tourist attractions, etc.
2. The place is very clean and feels safe.
3. Communication with the property manager Rita was excellent. She was very responsive when we had any questions or requests.
4. The bathroom is very nice and it’s fun using the rain shower
5. The bed was comfortable.
Negative Points:
1. It felt like we were staying in corporate housing. The apartment was very plain and had the bare minimum.
2. The table the TV sat on was large and we kept walking into it as it was to big for the small apartment. It also was weirdly placed to the side of the couch and near the bathroom.
3. The closest light would flicker on and off at night when the doors were closed. This did not bother our sleep but it was a bit annoying
4. Construction was going on next door. The double layered windows keeps the noise out but you can’t keep them open if you want fresh air since it was loud.
5. It would have been nice to have some cooking oils and seasonings to use with the kitchenware that was provided in the apartment.
6. The shower door did not shut all the way close so water would leak onto the floor. This can probably be fixed.
7. We only had two pillows. It would have been nice to have more.
Conclusion: The overall value of the apartment is its location. The apartment itself has the basic essentials but compared to other airbnbs it is not that special.
