Overall would stay at this vrbo again, here are some of the pros/cons.
Pros:
-Great location in the cute area of Alfama located on a quiet street
-Clean and well decorated apartment with river views and balcony
-AC in bedroom which was necessary in the summer heat
-Easy check in but unfortunately had to be done at a property management office which was not in the same location as the rental. It was a 20 min walk or 10 min Uber
Cons:
-No AC in living areas
-No elevator, you have to walk up several flights of stairs to the apartment
-The bed is made of 2 twins that are quite hard
Chose this rental because of location⊠sunny with good view.. street quiet. Would not stay againâŠ
Pros: Location, view, comfortable beds (even if small singles pushed together..). Good hot water and wifi. Street quiet at night. AC unit in bedroom.
Cons: access to unit through public spaces downright scary. Main door to apartment is up three very high flights, HUGE door key never worked. If you use the small elevator (access through small wooden door inside building entrance) - you require a total of 4 (four) keys to access unit. Two of the keys are problematic (wooden door and elevator).. you have to work them⊠very frustrating and nerve racking not knowing if we can gain access. Elevator opens onto a scary narrow metal inside fire escape ⊠night time motion detector lighting flashes.. no apartment number indicated.
Some dishes, glasses and pots dirtyâŠhaving been put into the shelves without cleaning, black mold in bathroom at sink and in shower. Drip coffee machine doesnât work (piece missing), toaster looks like it has been kicked around and sometimes didnât work correctly. No can opener. Dishwasher was difficult to get to work properly (we ended up hand washing). Clothes washer is jammed in a closet like space next to the fridge.. but didnât have to use. Extension cords supplied to deal with lack of plugs,electric heaters supplied to warm living room area as AC/heating unit doesnât to work (no remote), Nighttime lighting dim,sofa dirty,1 window would not open.
Wir haben uns fĂŒr die Wohnung entschieden, da es einen Safe/Code geben sollte, was fĂŒr unsere Flugzeit ideal war. Leider funktionierte das nicht und wir mussten den SchlĂŒssel an einer Rezeption holen und auch mitten in der Nacht wieder abgeben. Allerdings war dort immer jemand da. Die Kommunikation per whatsapp war aber super, sofern man rechtzeitig online die Checkin Anlagen ĂŒbermittelt. Zum Zustand der Unterkunft: tolle Lage und erstaunlich ruhig. Man kommt mit dem Auto nicht direkt bis zum Ausladen vor die TĂŒre, da es sich um gesperrte Anwohnerbereiche handelt. Das haben wir leider erst vor Ort erfahren und eine groĂe Ehrenrunde drehen mĂŒssen. ParkplĂ€tze gabs dann unten am Fluss, aber die Koffer musste wir hoch schleppen. Viele SchlĂŒssel waren fĂŒr den etwas gewöhnungsbedĂŒrftigen Zugang notwendig. Der Zugang zum Fahrstuhl "hing", die Treppen waren sehr eng! Der Altbau hat Charme, aber die elektrischen GerĂ€te waren sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Der GeschirrspĂŒler war aufgrund Schimmel nicht nutzbar. Auch der KĂŒhlschrank war völlig vereist, hier sollte mehr darauf geachtet werden. Die groĂe Gasflamme am Herd war defekt. Wer nicht kochen muss, der kann hier gut ĂŒbernachten. Betten waren ok, Bad roch nicht. Allerdings waren beide Klimaanlagen defekt, was eigentlich gar nicht geht. Wir hatten im Oktober perfektes Wetter. Im Appartement kam bei uns aber stĂ€ndig die Sicherung, d.h. man sitzt dann völlig im dunkeln, irgendwas ist nicht in Ordnung und muss ĂŒberprĂŒft werden...
