Parede Flats

Wonderful

  : The apartment is just 2 minutes far from the train station, a supermarket and surrounded by very good bars and restaurants. It is very nicely equipped. Perfect to go to Sintra, Cascais, Lisbon with no effort.
  : The apartment is on second floor with no elevator

  : Walking distance to a train station, supermarket, restaurants and a beach. The property is clean but dated. Dog friendly.
  : No A/C, gets hot in summer. Had to keep windows open for breeze. It was very loud at night as it is located across a bar where people party into the morning hours. Neighbor's poor dog is barking non stop. Smells from neighbor's kitchen are venting directly into the bedroom window. Shower cabin leaks. Internet worked on and off.

  : Location. Helpfulness of hosts. Fully equipped kitchen
  : Second bedroom had only net curtains so lights from house next door shone through

Pleasant
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : location was convenient for the purpose of my stay
  : not very clean, missing some basics like paper towels, no pods for laundry. located on a busy street. often street people hanging out in the doorway to the entrance. a little uncomfortable for a single traveler.

  : not relevant to our stay
  : Entrance hall was dark which, combined with low entrance door lock, was difficult to manoeuvre; also floor matt was partially missing from well which was dangerous. Step from back bedroom of our flat should have a nosing to highlight it.

  : The flat is close to many amenities such as supermarkets, restaurants, train station and the beach. Also has all the necessary amenities which was handy for a long stay like ours. Comfy bed and tv in the room was a plus.
  : I think the cleaning could be improved.

Very Poor

  : Location was OK and parking was not too much of an issue. However, it is a small town with little to do here except use it a base.
  : The apartment did not meet the description. Two rooms, there is only one "dorm style/youth hostel" room where everyone sleeps together, not two as advertised. A paper thin curtain "divides" the room magically into two according to the owner. If you do close this curtain, no air will move to the other half of the room. Only one closet space (off course, if you only have one room, then you only need one closet!) for a place for 5 people. Several items were broken: shower holder was broken, had to hold it, clothes line was destroyed, trash can with a pedal did not function. Other issues: hangers were filthy and sticky (we had to clean them), outdoor spaces were unusable and were not even cleaned (floor and chairs were covered in dirt/dust). We also had to clean these areas ourselves upon arrival. There was mold in the bathroom and in the living room. Shortage of plates and several other minor issues. one of the "beds" was a small cot with a sofa like cushion for a mattress. All this would have been fine if the price was in accordance, but it was not. Aside form all the above, the main issue was booking as a two bedroom only to have to share one large room for two weeks with no privacy. We wasted a lot of our holiday going back and forth with the owner on all of these issues when we should have been enjoying or stay that we paid a premium price for. The description also included a clothes dryer, but there was none. Its a small place, so you will have to use up the living room to dry your clothes. Host was nice and did try to solve some of the minor issues, but the bottom line is that they can not be trusted as they describe one thing and you get something totally different. I tried to take the issue to booking, but they basically washed their hands of the issue and did nothing on behalf of the renter. In short you should definitely look elsewhere as they turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing!
