Overall experience was between a 2-3 star out of 5.
Prior to travelling to Lisbon, we didn't get any reply from any of the 3 managers for almost 2 weeks via airbnb message, no reply to calls, finally only via sms.
Positive things:
The studio is in Alcantara district which is quite centric, has pingo doce shop quite close, several good restaurants like Zappi or Heim Cafe ( breakfasts) or for dinner like O Aregos or Taberna da Esperanca . As well you have the highway & bridge "Ponte 25th de Abril" 5-10 min driving from the studio and you do not need to cross the entire city if you go direction Cascais. Airport is 25min away from the studio +/-.
For parking best on rua das trinas or rua das quelhas - get the epark app.
You have enough kitchen stuff to prepare breakfast for 2-3 people and cook smaller dishes.
Unfortunately, now the negative things:
1. The area is loud, there are a lot of airbnb flats for foreigners and they obviously go out for dinner in the excellent restaurants in the surrounding area.
2. The garbage truck comes at midnight almost everyday and is very loud as it stops right in front of the door. Not to mention that acoustic insulation is not good in general .
3. The studio was not clean; dust everywhere (ventilator and light bulb cable have long time dust), mold in the bathroom, mold smell in the wardrobe, blankets were not fresh and the grey round stool had stains. We cleaned the floor during our 2 weeks stay almost everyday as the main wooden door was not air insulated so basically free air flow = dust flow.
4. Main bed mattress is hard, so for those who have soft mattresses at home you will suffer.
