GuestReady - Cosy 1-bed flat w/seaview in Alfama

Location

No aircon Sofa was stained and felt unclean Fan was very dusty

The kitchen was small, funny shaped but usable. It was well equipped

The sink in the bathroom was way too small!! Even brushing your teeth was difficult. Some windows were difficult to close /open The stairway was very steep and the stairs were rather small. Should have been mentioned in the description. For elderly people, like us.

What we really liked the most it was a brilliant location of the apartment, which was right in the heart of Alfama. Apartment itself was also ok, cozy enough.

Maybe it was just a bad luck for us but we did not have wifi connection for 2 days out of 3 we stayed there. It was a bit annoying. Staff of the accommodation tried to solve the issue but it really took a while. Basically we were only able to use wifi on our departure date in the morning, most probably connection was restored the night before but as we came back to the place late at night we did not really need it. I am wondering if any compensation would have been offered to us if we did not ask for it ourselves? We found it weired that facility had a coffee machine but no capsules? I doubt that tourist coming to Lisbon are bring any coffee capsules with them or go out and purchase it? I guess as a nice warm welcoming at least 2 symbolic capsules could be left in the apartment complimentary? No? Usually you’d find a kettle with instant coffee, sugar, milk (or cream) as a welcome treat on complimentary basis. Not a big deal but having those capsules at least for the very first morning would make a totally different impression. Again, not a big deal, but shower gel could also be present which was not. Indeed, all mentioned involves higher costs but we personally would not mind paying few euros more per night just to have these things at the apartment. What we did not like at all was the idea of collecting apartment keys at a completely differernt location (from the office) in the city? Why? This was very inconvenient and also time consuming. When you are traveling every minute counts. Plus you have luggage, etc. There are so many smart options now-a-days for keys collection: coded boxes, etc. Apartment door has no number or any sticker on it indicating it belongs to Altido renting company. In the office or in the aparment itself they do not have any information availabe for tourists about the city, like city maps, etc. Overall, ok but could be better for sure. Yes, apartment was in a brilliant location and it was clean and tidy.
