2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness
I’m honestly confused by the positive reviews. My friends and I booked this place for a weekend in Lisbon because it looked nice and well-priced, but the experience was disappointing from the start. When we arrived, the main door to the building was cracked open, which immediately felt unsafe. We then had to call the host multiple times before he answered and unlocked the apartment door.The stairs leading up to the apartment were extremely narrow and poorly maintained. Once inside, there was a very strong sewer-gas smell throughout the entire apartment. On top of that, the apartment looked nothing like the photos online. It did not appear clean, the beds were sloppily made and had visible hair in them, which is completely unacceptable.We left immediately and requested a refund. The host claimed he sent people over who said they smelled nothing, and VRBO denied the refund because I couldn’t “prove” the smell with photos, which is obviously impossible.Maybe this place was better when the older reviews were written, but that was not our experience at all. I would not recommend staying here.
