Mixed experience I would say, from just after we booked the host was very demanding wanting to know the exact time we would arrive, a week out, (most places are happy to know the day before) this is something I didn’t know at that stage as we were traveling by train and didn’t have a set schedule, in the end the train from Coimbra was delayed, thus making the whole exercise pointless!
Hairdryer was not in the apartment but the host reacted quickly to provide one,
No coffee or tea or anything like that in the apartment, like you would normally expect in Airbnb.
The apartment itself is very nice with high ceilings and massive granite surrounded openings onto a closed balcony, unfortunately there is a significant mould issue on the balcony so it is unusable and there was slight damp smell in the apartment not sure if that was related to the mould or not.
This apartment has great potential but it’s largely a let down, mostly stemming from the fact that it is run by an holiday apartment rental company, so there is no real care or personal touch and it misses the spirit of AirBnb by a long margin.
