First impression of the place was lovely since it's cozy, modern and clean.
We wanted to love this place so much as it's our last night in Portugal. Despite reading some negative reviews, we expect to have music during the day (and we did) but we didn't expect dog's barking/jumping upstairs for hours. We informed the host but it's out of her control as the unit could be another rental space. Please note this unit is on the ground level with 3 upper levels. We heard the person upstairs snoring and talking in the wee hours (which is inconsiderate). Surprised there isn't quiet hours established.
The listing shows A/C but it's an air cooler (look up the difference). One cannot adjust the temperature where it remained at 21'C. It was acceptable in Nov's cooler weather. However the entire place steamed up after shower and got really humid. The only ventilation is the small windows on the door but you shouldn't leave them open wide due to no privacy. People from the street can easily reach inside and unlock the door through the window. So be prepared for humidity. Other than those two, everything else worked well. The electric breaker tripped a few times when the kettle and oven were both on. Unsure why but it's an easy reset. Host has been extremely accommodating and flexible in check-in and out. The place isn't hard to get to but there are steps and slopes. Travel light if you can when in Portugal.
