The Worst
My husband and his friend of 60 years took a reunion trip to Europe but I booked this for them. The following is in their words.
We booked this unit for a four night stay in September, instead we stayed one night and that is because we had no choice. The unit was advertised as being in the heart of old town, however, the area had no restaurants, shops or charm. Unfortunately it did have the “inextricable” maze of dead ends, stairs and alleyways, noted in the ad. As no vehicles are allowed, getting to and from the unit was an major issue. We were led to believe that it was 5 minutes to major sites in Lisbon, this is definitely not accurate. Even with GPS, the place was hard to navigate and getting back to the unit after dark was a major hassle.
In short, unless you are there for the exercise, this is not for you! It would be very difficult if you have suitcases as we were travelling with backpacks.
The unit itself was basic with bedrooms downstairs and a dehumidifier running upon arrival. It was blowing hot air and leaking water. Hardly ideal for sleeping and likely not very healthy. We felt a sense of relief leaving this place and ruined what might have been a nice visit to Lisbon. We left after one night and went to Lagos, which was incredible.
My wife did bring these issues to the attention of the property manager but she was not very cooperative. Even with the loss incurred, leaving this unit was the best option.
