First the good…the location of this flat is spectacular. Just blocks from the river, very easy Metro access, and lots of restaurants, shopping, and bars just outside the front door. In addition, the beds were fairly comfortable and the kitchen and baths were modern.
Now the challenging…the flat has no A/C which we knew about when we booked. Seeing that Lisbon was experiencing a heatwave I contacted Joao and asked him if the flat had fans well before our trip. When we got there we discovers that only one ceiling fan worked and the other small fans were useless. We could not leave the windows open at night due to the excessive street noise. Joao’s lack of response on this issue was frustrating. I ended up buying a fan that helped.
Also, the flat looks much nicer and bigger in the pics than it really is. The living area furniture is very uncomfortable. So, after a long day of walking around in Lisbon heat we came back to a flat that was hot and uncomfortable. The price is too high for that kind of experience.
Lastly, check in was not good. Check in was supposed to be at 2 PMWe were told by Joao’s associate Raquel that we could drop our luggage at 230 PMbut the cleansers had not cleaned yet. Ends up the place was not cleaned until 430 PM and then there were dirty dishes in the dishwasher.
We ended up leaving a day early and headed up to the Porto portion of our trip.
I do not recommend this place and will not stay there again.
