The property had a lot of potential but unfortunately did not meet our expectations.
First of all, the check-in process was pretty frustrating. The main issue was payment of the tourist tax. The hosts wanted payment via the Revoult app before providing check-in info. The app is not readily accessible to most Americans. I tried signing up but it basically forced me to create a bank account and I felt very uncomfortable with the amount of info required (social security number, picture of face, passport, etc.) and after going through these steps, I still could not get it to work. Finally, the host relented and let me pay in cash... which begs the question why I couldn't simply do this in the 1st place. I deleted my Revolute account and they said they'd store the info for 6 years before deleting... so I'm glad to have all my information out there in case of a data breach. One of the reasons I booked the accommodation was its walking proximity to the train station. Although google maps says 7 minutes walk, it is essentially straight up a massive hill and with all of our luggage and we needed to get a taxi anyways, negating one of the key benefits I thought we were getting when booking.
The actual property matches the pictures, but everything was a little more dated. We only used the 3 king bedrooms and we're glad we didn't need the 4th, as it smelled strongly of mildew. The beds were not comfortable and extremely squeaky, making sleep difficult. The wifi only worked in the living room and kitchen--not a single bar in any of the bedrooms--which was an issue because only 2 of the 6 of us had international data turned on. Finally, the day of arrival they informed us of a sewage issue and they dispatched a technician. The issue was clearly in the downstairs basement, as it smelt horrible during our 3 night stay. We called the bathroom the "stinkitorium" and nobody could use it because of the smell, which forced 6 of us to share 1 bathroom/ shower. Overall, we are glad we did not spend much time in the property, as we were out exploring Lisbon most of the time.
On a positive note, the location is excellent (right by the twice a week flea market) and nearby to many cafes and restaurants.
Overall, there are some major kinks to be worked out at this accommodation before we would ever consider staying there again.
