Great Location, really nice host who booked a ride from airport and dinner rsvp first night... but unfortunately, the good parts end there.
When you first arrive, you are concerned as there are no numbers on the many doors in the building, but this is the least of your worries. Absolutely terrible Beds. The worst you've ever slept on...my wife and I believe the mattresses were stuffed with cardboard. When traveling all you want is a good nights sleep & you won't get that here. There are 4 beds so one in each of the two common areas... all awful except potentially the futon, also crammed into the first common area. There is one shower on the first floor with a wobbly shower head, and the shower on the second floor is not a shower as much as it's a birdbath. Everytime we had to shower, we would refer to it as taking a birdbath (our friend slept on the first level of the room, sleeping on the futon instead of the bed in the living area, and had the wobbly shower; we had the upper level w/ birdbath). My wife got a horrible bug the last night, which we believe was from the tap water, but cannot be sure so will not comment further here, except to say that to quell the nausea, she needed ice and the ice in the flat was molded/stale leading to more illness. Couple this with more terrible nights' sleep and it was a recipe for making Portugal a place we don't care to go back to. There is a lovely hotel that's around the corner from this area and this is where our friend's mom stayed - we got to see the hotel and her room, which made us green with envy - seeing the comfortable mattress + rain shower. We had another couple in Portugal at a different Air B+B who didn't hate their place as much, but still nothing to rave about. Highly recommend checking out hotels in the area perhaps, or at least another Air B+B, as this was just so awful, it really ruined the experience for us. We hope this review saves another couple looking for a good time in Portugal. We hope the host does not take this personally, but instead takes the hint, buys new air mattresses, fixes the bathrooms and makes the stay more tolerable for the next guests.
