Maria’s apartment was as beautiful as the pictures make it look. Very convenient and walking distance to many areas in Lisbon.
Downfall: we arrived and checked in at 12pm. We were told that we could leave our bags behind and come back at 4PM due to it not being cleaned. After waiting at Starbucks for 4 hours and running on 0 sleep after traveling, we come back to find the apartment is STILL not cleaned. Trash bags left in the kitchen, pet hair all over the rug, dirty bedroom/bathroom. When I contacted Maria about this, she responded that there was an issue at another property (as if that is reason enough). NONE of this was prior communicated to us that the apt was not clean. About 40 mins later a man came to clean and we had to just sit there awkwardly for an hour. When asked how we would be compensated for this, Maria did not answer and disregarded what had happened.
Like I said, the apt is beautiful and worth it besides this one hiccup.
