This rental unit have an amazing waterfront view
Beautiful sunsets and sunrise
relatively close to the Lisbon tourists' attractions approx
40 mins walk, Bodegas close by.
Host brought a coffee expresso machine and some pods we appreciated this very much
Luisa was very helpful and respectful, she is a very hardworking woman, Luisa was the only person to apologize to us for having such a terrible experience staying at this rental.
Cons
We are seeking a full refund for our stay as we should not be harassed and bullied by the residents in this building and disrespected by the Hosts, except Lucia.
Upon checking into this rental, we were threatened by several of the residents with calling the police on us, because we simply turned on the AC as it was very hot in the apartment.
These residents claimed that the AC was installed illegally and illegally placed. The police came after several days of being in this apartment, however we were not at the apartment.
It was very traumatizing for us to experience this type of hostility by the residents and to make matters worse, we contacted the Hosts managing the rental and they did not respond immediately, when they came over John visited first, he gives us some bs explanation for this issue and left.
We were threatened again this time the residents in this neighborhood stating that we would be removed by the police, this felt like discrimination and extreme hostile bias.
This hostile experience at this rental ruined our entire vacation
John and Antonio came finally and pretty much lectured us on why they did not come by immediately, John was very disrespectful to my wife telling her ohhh you would worry about a storm as well, completely dismissive and sexist attitude and behavior towards my wife Gail. We did not appreciate John rude and disrespectful attitude towards women especially and also to his guests.
John needs to learn how to be respectful to women and all of his guests. Antonio needs to be more hospitable towards his guests especially when checking them into their rentals.
Bathroom smells like sewer all the time, no p- trap and no toilet seat cover in this toilet, we spent most of our time cleaning and trying to get rid of the sewage smell coming from this bathroom.
The drapery kept coming off the hooks and it was too high for us to put it back on the hooks.
lots of sex noises coming from the apartments late into the night
and all hours of the day and night bring headphones for sure.
Garbage spewed outside in front of the building at all times, it also smells really bad, we had to close the windows during the day and night to prevent the awful smell from entering this rental unit as it is on the second floor.
Clothing line outside is rusted and ruined our clothing
especially the whites
Smoke fills the apartment from the smokers in the building, my wife gets migraines, so it was very difficult for her.
it's also not the friendliest neighborhood, even when you are supporting the businesses.
please note that this neighborhood is not scenic at all, just lots of buildings and it is also very hilly, if you have mobility issues, this rental will not work for you. If you are sensitive to noises and smells this rental will not work for you either.
professional tips for the owner of this rental.
Please add a large rug in the living room and bedroom
Please add quality throws and towels for your guests
Change drapery so that iy does not fall off the hooks
Please address the sewer smell coming from the bathroom
Respectfully
John & Gail
