The main reason to rent this apartment was the terrace. Check in was smoothly with great availability from João the concierge. The kitchen equipments are completely broken and old, the dishes where not clean, sink smelling among others... the room was very humid since it still has the original walls over the bed. The pillows where not comfortable and some towels where old and not fully cleaned. Regarding the terrace, the space, due to the four cats living near, it was dirty with animal dejects, smelling awfully, the leaves where not properly cut and the furniture is old and broken. The barbecue had a disgusting grill from the hoven left by previous guests. All in sum the apartment was not properly maintained and cleaned. This was report to João, which immediately took the action of sending a cleaning crew the next day which promptly apologised for the state of cleaning. I wouldn’t book this apartment again if things are not changing in the future.
PS: one of the neighbours threatened calling the police due to the use of the grill to do a barbecue.
