Antonio’s place is absolutely nothing like what is shown in the pictures. Yes there are not fake pictures but its an illusion which disappeared as soon as you set foot in the place. Its a ancient place which is about to fall off and is being sold in the name of History. The rooms and so small that you literally cant move around. They promote it as an accommodation for 6 people but honestly anything more than 4 is a task. In our group 2 people had to open their luggage in the common room due to lack of space. Starting from the caretaker to the owner, they have absolutely zero code of conduct and when we raised our issues, rather than trying to understand it or solve it, Antonio felt Offensive was the best statergy. First suggestion was that he would call the Airbnb official and make us leave the property and second was make personal remarks. Hoenstly for the price we paid had I seen the place in person, one would not even set foot in the place. For every problem Antonio had an excuse and not a solution. The key of the washroom was missing hence cant be locked, rather than solving, the answer was I dont know. I will try and arrange. There was no follow up later. Nothing. The cab driver told us that this neighboorhood is not too safe, response was that its the first time he has heard that and lisbon is very safe. There were not A/C in the property and even no fans in the common room and a bed room. His argue was that it gets 18 degree in the evening hence Lisbon has no AC’s whereas when we entered it was 33 degree. I would highly suggest against even thinking about staying at this property and as I got to know that Antonio manages other properties, avoid an property to have a safe and enjoyable vacation.
The best part was that after the whole episode which was not enough, on our second day we return back to the place in the afternoon to find that the entire place is opened up without any intimation or informing. There was repair work taking place. So not only did Antonio expose our belongings and valuables to third party workers also we had to sit through 4 hours of banging and drilling. And mind you sound really travels in this house as its ancient.
Save your precious little money and please dont even think about staying here. Antonio is a jerk who does not the meaning of being a host and a service provider.
