Pros
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

Really great location, excellent services provided like free coffee and weekly cleaning. A bit on the expensive side with all the flatio fees.

Everything is as described. Two things worth mentioning - there are no insect nets on the windows, only one badly attached- holes, not tight. And its hot there during summer, windows must be open. And the flat is on 3rd floor with no elevator, so smokers - be aware. Besides that all good.

I stayed in this accomodation for over two months, and do not recommend it for long-term stays. It's not suitable for working from home and the facilities aren't adequate for the number of quests the house can accomodate. It's noisy and not very comfortable, mainly because all the spaces are barely furnished and echo badly – you can hear sounds from the kitchen even when you're in the bedroom with the door closed, and that's on a different floor. When other guests were behaving inappropriately (which happened too often while I was there), the landlord told me that it wasn't their responsibility to resolve, and so the living situation was regularly quite uncomfortable to be in. The common spaces, including the bathrooms, were also not also not stocked and maintained well; though a cleaner did come, it was irregular and not always after a guest left. For me this wasn't a positive experience, but I think it would be different if it was a short-term stay. Though the distance times on the listing aren't accurate, there is a nice beach just a bus ride away, and it would be a good place for a holiday.

The management are nice and decent people so I'll try to be as honest as possible here. This can definitely be a very good coliving but as the house in general is great, but mgmt needs to fix some mistakes they have been doing.

They should be honest with the room descriptions (my room had very thin walls so it was hard to sleep at night), some facilities like table tennis table were not available, there was mention of bikes to rent but they didn't exist. The management really should pre-screen the renters as my experience for the past 2 months is that this was more of a hostel rather than co-living, leading to a less than ideal atmosphere.

All in all it was good experience still and the mistakes can be easily fixed so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt :)

The internet in the apartment is 2 Mbit/second download, and 0.8 - 1.4 Mbit/second upload. You should consider this before renting. I have contacted the owner about this matter, but haven't received help at all.

Therefore, the neighbourhood is nice. Huge forest nearby to walk. But I would probably recommend to have a car. The apartment itself is without separate rooms. So you have beds inside of the hall.
Although, the bathroom is huge.

We recently stayed in an apartment in Prague 2 for two months, and overall, it was a good experience with a few notable points.

Location: The apartment is very well located in Prague 2, within walking distance of all the main tourist attractions in Prague.

Accommodation: The apartment was clean and nicely decorated, although basic. It was indicated that there was an air conditioner, but we had to request one to get it. As for cleanliness, we could borrow a broom and a mop from the basement, as there is not one per apartment. The beds are comfortable, but no more than that (firm mattresses), and the pillows are not very comfortable (too large for the small pillowcases). There are two bars nearby that can be noisy until late at night.

Kitchen: Despite the listing stating that the apartment is suitable for long-term rentals, the kitchen was very basic. For example, the counter is small and too low, there was a small oven and a very small refrigerator (which we found disappointing as we partly rented the apartment for that, with the listing images showing a large fridge). Additionally, basic kitchen accessories were missing (kitchen knife, steak knife, dish towels, dish rack, broom, salad bowl, etc.). What we found regrettable was that the owner had assured us that everything necessary for a long-term stay would be provided, but we had to request several items, and others we simply bought ourselves.

Wi-Fi: The Wi-Fi was unstable, which could be frustrating and made remote work impossible.

Service: The owner was very kind and quickly available via WhatsApp, which was greatly appreciated.

This apartment is in Atlantic gardens beach hotel. This info was not included in the directions we were given, which explicitly pinned a completely different complex further up the road. We spent over an hour searching for the place because of this.

The aparatment is much bigger than how it looks from the pictures and the view is breathtaking, they have really good wi-fi for remote work and good ammenities such as pool, service desk..

However, a lot of things were lacking for long term stays. There were only one set of sheets, kitchen was not very well equiped. The floors were very dirty when we got there, and the couch is filthy, it needs a deep cleaning, so we were avoiding using it. The whole place looks a bit run down, which is not something to complain about but the price for that is not justifiable. For a lower price it would be fine, but with all the flaws it wasnt worth it, especially with so many better options for rent. The neighborhood opposite the ocean is pretty dingy, with trash containers that absolutely reeked of fish leftovers. The place is situated at the bottom of a huge hill, which requires walking up about 5 flights of stairs to go anywhere.

The beach however is really nice and the pool make this offer more appealing. We are planning to come back for a full year, but in a different place.

A fine place, just maybe not for the price.

Amazing location and very cool old building and apartment. Unfortunately those are the only good things we can say. The place is very poorly furnished including stains, cigarette burns, broken furniture, and general poor upkeep. Communication with the landlord was also poor, especially when dealing with these simple to fix issues. The potential for this place is amazing, but it falls short due to these issues. It’s a shame, because we couldn't get enough of the amazing area.

Very nice landlords, loved the communication but the apartment has zero sound isolation from the rest of the house where they live so you can hear everything when someone comes down or back home. Nice bed and kitchen, shower and restroom in general not so much - each time you take a shower the floor gets really wet and if you are 160+ cm shaving and using the mirror is a pain because you need to crouch + it's pretty dark even with all the lights on. Overall for short time rent good place but if you need something for long term you will get the feeling you're living in someones basement/room for a pretty hight price (with service fee I payed over 1300 euro for 31 day). Metro is 15-20 minutes walk, neighbourhood is let's say not the best but ok and even though there is a place you can do laundry nearby, again, it's just a pain to spent time and 10 euro each week additionally considering the price of the studio itself IMO. Owner said the main issue with sound isolation from rest of the house is something they plan to fix but until then it is what it is.

A pesar de la buena comunicación con Maria, creo que se aferró a un comentario negativo que ya teníamos para calmar su enfado ya que dejamos el apartamento un día antes sin previo aviso.
Dejamos las ventanas abiertas para airear el apartamento, barrimos el suelo y dejamos todos los platos en el lavavajillas tal y como ella nos pidió. Además le pagamos 60€ para que una empresa limpiara el apartamento.
Aún así todo han sido quejas y todo le ha parecido mal.

Creo que esta señora tiene su apartamento en alta estima como para alquilarlo a extraños.

El apartamento es cómodo y está limpio, además está bien localizado. El único problema que hemos tenido es la insatisfacción sin sentido con Maria.

The flat was not entirely clean, the floor had not been swept and also it also requires a thorough scrubbing/washing. Certain areas of the flat have not been maintained (flaky walls, ceiling) and there is not sufficient light (natural - only one window or artificial - bad lighting). It also needs some serious decluttering as it has a lot of unneeded things, e.g. furniture, pots/pans, bags. Instead some basics were missing, e.g. wash-up liquid, bath towel. On the plus side the location is excellent and the flat could be very nice with some TLC, however not recommended at present state.

Apartment was clean and we were given a warm and friendly welcome by the owner. However, they didn't present any paperwork to us on arrival for us to check off per Flatio's recommendation.

We soon found the fibre internet connection was not as described and confirmed with the owner before we moved in, as 30MB/s i.e. 300Mbits speed. It was only 28Mbits down 16Mbits up, useless for our work involving AI and local LLM downloads. We couldn't even play two YT Premium videos simultaneously!

Unexpectedly, the owner was traveling abroad so we contacted MEO internet service provider who told us it was an old legacy service which could easily be upgraded for a few Euros pm with a phone call from owner only.

We messaged the Owner who replied she had had no complaints before and refused to upgrade even though it was only a few Euros to do so. We wasted 2 weeks work time finding an unlimited 5G SIM that worked. FYI there's only one, from NOS, which works at full speed truly unlimited.

Also, loud motorised lifting machinery arrived outside the apartment after a few days in the first week causing a lot of disruptive noise and vibration in the apartment. We reported this and sent a video of the equipment to the owner. She replied the work had not finished in May and it had to be completed sorry. This work continued for most of our stay. Loud workmen held a conference at 8am outside our bedroom most mornings.

Offering this apartment without warning of impending disruptive building work was very inconsiderate of potential tenants. We would not have rented this apartment had we known of either of the above.

Sandra is a great host. She genuinely tries to help and does her best to solve your issues. The apartments are nice and cozy.

Unfortunately, we encountered an issue with bedbugs. It was horrible and seriously spoiled our stay. Sandra called pest control several times, but it only provided temporary relief. My wife had bites all over her body and had to use a lot of essential oil to try and repel the bedbugs, but it didn’t help much. We really suffered from the bedbugs and I hope Sandra did a thorough extermination with effective chemicals after we left. We even had to check out one day earlier because of this problem (unfortunately, we couldn’t leave sooner as there were no other available places to stay).

The location is good; however, there are a few drawbacks. First, a lot of drug-addicted homeless people constantly hang out right under the windows, making noise at night, smoking a lot. The worst part is that they urinate under the windows, making it impossible to open them without smelling the odor (no mention of constant smoke). On the other hand, they are mostly harmless as long as you don't interact with them, and there are some incense sticks in the apartments to help with the smell. Besides this, the location is perfect. It’s close to all tourist spots, well connected to other parts of Lisbon, and there are many good restaurants nearby.

One last thing to note: the apartments are located on the second floor, with no elevator, only a narrow and steep stairway. Thanks to Sandra, we were able to lift our big bags; otherwise, I doubt I could have brought them up alone.
