Our stay at here was fine for the price.
The Airbnb itself had good facilities. The kitchen was well equipped with more or less everything needed for cooking. The bathrooms were clean and having two between the guests meant we never really had to wait to use them. The location was close to transport, but not so close to any noteworthy bars or restaurants. But as long as you have two moderately functioning legs, then you can make your way to these places quite easily.
We were frustrated that the photos on Airbnb were not representative of the actual room. Although it was the same room almost all the furniture was different, so we were unable to use the sofa chairs to hang out as we’d hoped. The rooms decor looked nothing like in the photos other than still having the same bed frame, which had some very visible wear and tear. Also the room's “private patio”, which was a selling point for us, was only private in the way that we had the only door to it. The windows from another room along with the bathroom looked out to the patio also, so there was no privacy to it. Not that we were inspired to use it anyway, as it appeared to have never been cleaned before. There was dirt, leaves and spiderwebs all through it. This is false advertising, since the “private patio” is used as a selling point for the room, it’s even in the title, and the photos give an impression that is far from reality. It’s misleading and honestly puts us within our rights to complain. The bed itself though, was quite comfortable. It's saving grace.
There was also a good amount of construction going on, which sounded as though it was on the other side of our rooms wall. Some very loud drilling. We understand this is out of our hosts control, nevertheless we would have appreciated being notified. Thankfully we were out most of the day and didn't have to deal with it too much.
We were able to manage with these issues with the room, but felt it’s necessary to mention them here incase a future guest is expecting to get what they are shown from the images and description, which isn’t the case.
Despite these issues the place worked for what we needed it for, and the host, Abu, was accommodating.
If we needed an affordable place to stay in Lisbon, we’d consider coming here again, now that we know what to expect is not what is pictured or described.
