Gonçalo’s room was in an area of the flat which was private and quiet.
The room we had is very spacious, there is a lot of storage, although the double bed is simply an Ikea mattress laid on top of a timber wood board.
We could see that the next door room had a proper bed frame though.
We had issues with the cleanliness of the room, as it was pretty dusty all over the surface and floor and the bedlinen had quite a few darker hair on it.
Gonçalo said the linen were changed, so it might have been the cleaner’s hair or another issue, but he agreed to change our sheets.
We still had to dust some spaces ourselves.
The listing stated there was an hairdryer, but there was no hairdryer in the house, the reason was a guest broke it some time ago and he was unwilling to buy a new one.
Since this was not our fault and we both have long hair, we really needed one, and we choose the flat after selecting certain amenities.
It wasn’t until having to discuss a few times that it should have not been in the listing if it wasn’t available, that he came back with a little travel one.
The flat is little far from central Lisbon, which is ok if you don’t mind taking a bus or a taxi, which we did not.
There is a mini supermarket nearby, convenient for buying essentials such as breakfast.
Note that bedrooms have no lock. There are 2 bathrooms to use, which is good with the flat being busy.
The whole situation had us considering looking for an alternative accommodation, but it was very last minute and at weekend.
Gonçalo’s refunded our first night of his own goodwill, which we’re glad of, due to the issues encountered.
