Pros:
- Incredibly amazing view of the city and river!! Literally to die for! This was my favorite part of the airbnb
- Pretty clean! Everything was basically spotless. My only complaint was there were some small stains I noticed on some pillows and the blanket and one of the towels has bleach stains
- Great location once you get settled in. We stayed when there were several festivals happening and we were walking distance of neighborhood parties basically! I loved the vibe and the people. It was so cool to experience that with the locals! It’s also very close to a lot of great spots to sight see. Alfama is a beautiful neighborhood and I would love to visit it again!!
Cons:
- Kind of difficult to find and get to! Our host mentioned this but there are A LOT of cobblestone floors and stairs to the airbnb. Once in the apt, there are extremely tall, skinny stairs which is very difficult to carry items, let alone walk up and down yourself. Of course this is just the architecture of the neighborhood, my advice is just to go slow! Also I would not say it’s the 1st floor, it’s more like the 3rd floor lol
- AC was very loud. Every 30 min or so it would hum so loudly, we ended up just turning it off at night. This wasn’t that much of an issue since the temperature was great, but more of a nuisance. I didn’t notify them about this though, so maybe it could’ve been fixed during our stay.
- Shower was clogged/slow draining. Also not a big deal, just kind of annoying. I didn’t notify them about this though, so maybe it could’ve been fixed during our stay.
Overall, a great deal! Would come back again for the views and location!
