Mixed feelings about this stay:
Check in - communication was great, we were met on time by an associate who showed us where to park and brought us to the apartment and explained all. The only problem was that he didn’t wear a mask (we wore ours) which is strange, for Portugal.
The place was mostly clean with the exception of the master bathroom. The corners of the shower were moldy is what we noticed first. The ventilation for both bathrooms was not working, and it must have been this way for some time as the vent in the shower of the master bath had what looked like black mold building up in it. I was really disgusted when I looked up and saw this after a few days of being there.
Other reasons for this bad review:
-Beds have no top sheet - only the comforter/duvet
-no toiletries of any sort were available other than toilet paper (no body wash, shampoo, soap, etc.)
-no paper towels, no dishrags, no trash bags for the garbage
-the heating/thermostat seemed to be messed up - we had to shut off the heating at the water heater at night time as it seemed to keep getting hotter no matter what the thermostat was set at - and then wake up cold and need to turn it back on
-the couch is terribly uncomfortable - I suppose this is because the entire place is furnished with IKEA - probably fine for most but I did not care for it.
Positives:
The cleanliness of the rest of the apartment was good.
The location is great
Parking is included
Internet is reliable and fast
Building is secure
