Although there was zero communication with the host, I didn’t mind because I was comfortable finding things on my own. Someone did meet me in person to checkin but I didn’t have contact with them beforehand. They actually did a great job at welcoming me and making sure everything was working in the apartment. The bed is for one person only and I suggested they upgrade the mattress because it’s uncomfortable. I actually used the extra blankets to soften the bed top. Apartment is clean and modern. Light is beautiful in the room. Washing machine has a nice drying feature which isn’t common. Building is quiet on the inside but like the others have mentioned there is street noise. Obviously not the most ideal space but I was really happy with my staying here. If it was first time staying somewhere in Portugal I won’t have had the same experience.
