Ernest's place was disappointing. We were greeted with a weird smell by the door which came from the sink drain. The place was tidy but run down and not clean overall. For example, the wine glasses had lip stains all over (probably wasn't washed), the laundry machine was moldy, etc. The shower was interesting, it had a shower curtain that divided the shower in half (not pictured). Maybe very petite guests and kids can actually fit under the showerhead and inside the curtain. The listing mentioned that towels and other essentials would be provided. We were given two bath towels and one face towel. There was also a small towel in the kitchen to dry your hands. Bring your own towels or be prepared to share the face towel. When asked, Ernest was not very responsive but later asked me to confirm if those 3 towels were there. In terms of location, the Garça area is very nice and we liked to be close to Alfama. The tram 28 route is very close by to the apartment which is great for tourism but if you want to use this tram to avoid walking up the hills (even sometimes), you won't be able to get a spot on this very touristic tram. Personally, I would not recommend this host or apartment to my family or friends.
