Property location was excellent, but nothing else was as it seemed (pics were dated) . I wouldn't stay again even though the company did refund some of our money. The building has mechanical, safety, plumbing, and cosmetic issues.
While some issues could be fixed, so were and some weren't (only after many conversations with the company) and issues were many. Building was being painted and covered in scaffolding and visqueen - could not open windows and window sills were covered in dust (we were not informed). The elevator didn't work until day 5 - when we left (we were on 3rd floor and rented as because it had one). Master bath didn't drain and the toilet was literally coming off the wall (we had to share toilet with others - we specially rented 2 bedroom 2 bath). The master bedroom AC leaked, and I slipped - we had to put the mop bucket under it and put towel down as splashed and made noise when dripping. Coffee pot did not have basket and we had to shop for filters, which were not easy to find. The main building front door entrance was not latching - could push open. was not locking. Couch conditional was bad - felt springs and felt like could collapse. 2nd bathroom toilet bidet attachment leaked a little. The kitchen door to the outside couldn't be kept open as it was bird and poo infested (if all else was working this would not have mattered, however it would have been nice to know ahead).
We booked through vrbo because we were hoping to book from an individual but this listing is from a company, so the experience was a bit impersonal. On the plus side the unit was clean and had nice heating. It was also very close to many local points of interest.
On the minus side, I expect proper shower amenities similar to a hotel, but they didn't provide hand soap, and only a tiny packet of shampoo/body soap enough for one shower, even though we stayed there for 5 days. Also, we were on the third floor and were required to take out any trash bags we had. I would expect that the cleaning fee covers the removal of trash from trash cans. Me and my friends agreed that we would stay at a hotel next time we travel.
Les points faibles : Communication et exactitude de lâannonce
Great Location! Needs Attention!
The location is great! Building had an elevator so being on the third floor was no problem. This apartment has street view in front and dilapidated Common area in the back. The pictures are deceiving. The furnishings and bathroom appearances are not new. Plumbing fixtures are loose and the toilet is coming off the wall! Attention to maintenance could really improve the experience.
This property had a great location! We used the transfer service from the train station and weâre glad we did with all the one way streets. The property is in need of a refresh such as fresh paint and tile repairs. All the appliances are modern and new. The cabinets are very high up so not easy to reach for shorter people. Our main complaint would be the hardness of the mattresses. Overall, this was a roomy homebase for our Lisbon explorations
Die Wohnung hat einen besonderen Altbau-Charme, ist groĂ und sehr gut gelegen, alles ist zu FuĂ erreichbar. Die Einrichtung ist hĂŒbsch und komfortabel. Trotz groĂer WĂ€rme drauĂen war es innen angenehm kĂŒhl. Im direkten Umfeld sind mehrere SupermĂ€rkte, die U-Bahn und die Tram-Linie 28.
