This is a difficult one. There are really good and also pretty bad thing about our stay. Let's start with the good ones:
- Sandra (the co-host) is an angel. She's super nice and helpful. She waited for us at 1am to let us in. She was very reachable via WhatsApp the whole time
- the location is premium! You're very fast in the city centre, the metro station Trindade, and the bus station Bolhao.
- the size of the apartment and the apartment design, and room distribution are very nice and the view from the 7th floor is amazing! On sunny days you can see the sea!
- Sven was really attentive when we wanted to change our reservation due to catching Covid 2 days before planning to come
Now to the rather negative things:
- when we arrived there was a beeping sound like when a truck goes backwards, which was there 24/7 in the whole apartment. We found out a day later that it came from an empty office right on the floor below. We told Sandra & Sven about it and although I think they really tried, the noise stayed for 10 days! 10 days of a constant beeping sound to be heard in the whole apartment when you work and sleep at the place is horrible and definitely not okay!
- The bathroom has some sort of leakage. There was constanly water in floor appearing from somewhere and although we told Sandra about it, no handyman showed up during our stay. Hence, we had to mop the floor every 2 hours
- In general, the place is pretty run down and doesn't seem to be worth that much money. For instance, the mattress is quite horrible (and I'm really not picky about those things), the sofa has stains, the quality of the furniture in general is quite low. Probably that's normal when you rent out a place that much but we expected more for the money.
I hope this gives you a whole picture :)
