First off, I should say the apartment is very nicely furnished to a luxury standard. The views from the balconies are beautiful. The rooms are nice, beds comfortable and clean. The host responds quickly to queries. She made a good suggestion about a day trip. However a number of things let this apartment down. Firstly, it is in a very noisy boisterous neighborhood, situated next to a park or vista point — from which there is loud singing and drums heard *every* single day (of the 4 days we stayed) from the early afternoon to late evening. It makes it unpleasant to stay outside on the terrace because it is so loud, also people throw beer cups and cigarettes over the side of the park wall that end up in the terrace area. Even with the terrace doors closed you can hear the noise in the living room clearly. I am not a super noise-sensitive person but I feel like the price-point and luxury feel or promise of the listing do not match with the twenty-something party vibe of the environment. Also, the wooden floors/ceilings do not insulate well the heavy footfalls of the people in the unit above, they seem to do a lot of walking back and forth also. The unit is hosted by a rental company, which I found to be quite impersonal to deal with, and not in keeping with the spirit of the many previous Airbnb I have stayed at. We were told very matter of factly that only 2 toilet rolls would be supplied and two coffee capsules! Despite our party being three people staying 4 days. Toilet roll is not expensive. But we had to search for a local shop to buy it. Why? It leaves a bad taste. Also there were no clear instructions on how to empty the trash. The bathrooms are super stylish but there is no ledge in the shower to put any soap or shampoo. The bedrooms, bathroom, living room apparently have no trash cans that I could find. And a warning to anyone less mobile, this is a very hilly part of the city with broken cobbled uneven narrow streets. All in all, Lisbon is a great place to visit I think if you are a student with a backpack on a budget and you want to stay out all night making new friends. The people are very warm. Make sure to pack some ear plugs if you stay here and be prepared to make trips to the local supermarket for absolutely everything.
