I would not recommend this place.

When I arrived the place was still being cleaned although it didn't look that way once that had been finished. The place is dark, grubby and unwelcoming. The lights are very poor mainly lamps on the floor and the bedding didn't look particularly clean. The kitchen was dirty and I would never have even cut bread on the surfaces never mind prepare any food. The bathroom was very small and poorly fitted out.

When I arrived and after waiting for the cleaning to be completed I was in a hurry to go out and meet friends so had a shower and it was at that point I decided I couldn't stay there so after my shower, which I didn't enjoy, I left the place and found a hotel.

I contacted the host but she wouldn't accept my viewpoint and so incurred double the price having to pay for a hotel.

Since then AirBNB have given me a voucher for some of the cost to use on a future booking with them but it has still left me out of pocket. They gave me this voucher had I had stayed at an apartment in Porto prior to visiting Lisbon which was fantastic and had no problems with, which shows I genuine in my reviews.

The jury is out for me on AirBNB as all the reviews were glowing for this property which leads to doubt the transparency of this site.

Some people don't mind staying at a place that is grubby and not very clean but they usually do that as the price for these type of places is low. The price for this apartment isn't low so I would say: Stay away!
