Location, location, location. It is convenient for getting out and around many of the tourist destinations in Lisbon. Location makes this the place to stay and is the highlight of the apt.
Communication with Altido was good.
Considerations:
Stairs, there are a lot of them just be aware.
Three bedrooms - one bath so if you have a full house……
Check -in:
We hired Altidos suggested taxi service from the airport - Welcome Pickups - who left us stranded at the airport and refused a refund. In the end we just jumped in a cab outside the airport, turns out it was half the price of Welcome Pickups and the cab took us to the office to pick up the keys and then to the apt.
Cabs are easy and cheaper.
It did cost us an extra 50 Euros to pick up the keys to the apt because we arrived before the office was open. Arrived @ 0830 office opened at 1000.
The property is managed by Altido - an enterprise designed to do so. We did miss the personal touches, and attention, traditionally received from Airbnb owners. I suppose because of the success of vacation rentals the corporate/investment component is to be expected, nonetheless it takes away from the traditional little touches an individual property typically provides.
This could be a five star apt, we only gave it a 4 in most categories because the apartment itself is uninspiring, more like a student apt just off campus. Nothing personal or homey about it. No personal touches or insider information for the area. With just a few “traditional” Airbnb touches and it would be a great place. To be clear don’t let this stop you from staying here.
