Would happily book this Airbnb in the future! We requested to arrange for the massage on-site option which took place just an hour and a half after arrival… DEFINITELY ASK FOR THIS!!! We got a couples’ deep tissue massage and the massage therapists were so professional and GREAT!!! That was such a great experience! Aside from that, Duarte was so diligent about communicating, he reached out to us several times that first day and in the lead up to our arrival, and that made us comfortable and confident in his ability to take care of any issues that could arise (though there were none to report!) We really appreciated the thoughtful offerings (milk, orange juice, coke, and spices, etc.) that were made available to us! Truly, it’s all in the details that makes a person feel welcome. Marta, who checked us in, made check-in a breeze and we were grateful for that as we were pretty tired from the drive. Check out could not be more simple! The washer/dryer worked well (just let our clothes pretty wrinkled, but that’s okay because there was an iron and I’d rather have wrinkled but clean/dry clothes than wet clothes or a a unit that doesn’t wash well- at a previous Airbnb, the dryer was really week and we had to run the drier 4 times just to get it dry enough to then air dry…) . Parking was super close by and we had no issue (a big deal if you have a rental car with you) and we had a train station within walking distance for going to Sintra for a day while staying here. The only bummer to staying here is having to have a credit card run for 250 euros while you are staying here, makes me wonder if someone messed up this home before and ruined it for everyone else :/ We’ve never had an Airbnb that does that and we’ve stayed in over 20… but, we just have to wait for that deposit to be returned. I do feel that perhaps asking for that size of a deposit should only be asked of guests who have not stayed in many airbnbs before or who have questionable reviews from hosts, perhaps not from guests who have a great track record like us who have stayed in many homes internationally and have great reviews for taking care of hosts’ homes and leaving them tidy, as this would make us have to reconsider staying again (we wanted to book this home for multiple visits to Lisbon but because of that deposit charge, we decided only to stay once because having 250 euros held at a time is a lot!), so we hope if we ever come back to Lisbon in future visits, that this is waived for guests who have stayed before.
