Catarina and Patricia’s place was fine for what we needed. However, I wasn’t aware that this AirBnB was a hostel when I booked, after reading a subsequent review I tried to cancel my reservation at this location because I didn’t feel the listing was accurate. I was unable to cancel my reservation due to the cancellation policy.
When we arrived in Lisbon Patricia was very helpful with the check in process and providing us with recommendations. And while we could tell the hostel had been recently ‘updated’ there were still some issues. I believe there are 11 rooms in this hostel and only 2 showers, the drains in both the showers were extremely clogged and did not function which caused you to be standing in a 3 inch puddle as you were showering. There were also 4 bathroom stalls in total- 2 for women 2 for men. One day the women’s stalls were filthy and the toilet paper trash was overflowing. Additionally, room 0 where we were staying was very loud at night from the street traffic. We would have liked to sleep with the windows open but the noise prevented us from doing that. The room has direct sunlight almost all day so it got very hot. The bed in room 0 is also extremely hard and pretty uncomfortable. The location of this Airbnb is okay- we ended up unerring A LOT. Overall, this Airbnb was okay but I wouldn’t stay there again.
