Za tu cenu adekvátní, ale příště jen jako nouzové řešení. Turnikety jako na internátě a velmi nepříjemní recepční nebo security nebo jaká to.byla pozice hned vedle turniketů. Ale jak říkám za tu cenu adi cajk nicméně já si tedy raději priplatim, když bude možnost neprupadat si jako, že jsem ubytován za trest.

This was one of the worst rental experiences I’ve had. The host, Furkan, maintains an uncomfortable and unwelcoming environment, made worse by the excessive number of passive-aggressive signs plastered all over the apartment dictating everything from how and when you can eat, clean, or even use the fridge. There were unreasonable rules like not being allowed to wash dishes or use the washing machine after 9 PM because it was “his bedtime” — even though you could clearly hear him watching TV and moving around upstairs until 1 AM. He also claimed guests shouldn’t order food after 10 PM to avoid disturbing neighbors, yet neighbors were active and receiving deliveries well past midnight. Basic amenities were falsely advertised. The listing mentioned a fan and access to a terrace, neither of which were actually available. I had to buy my own fan and was later told the terrace was off-limits, despite it being written in the house rules that it was allowed. He seems to selectively enforce and change the rules depending on who the guest is. The kitchen was under-equipped — there were only a couple of usable utensils and at one point we had to share a single fork between two people because the others mysteriously “disappeared.” He also made petty complaints when we used a tiny bit of shared oil, despite us regularly sharing our food with him and each other. Worse than the pettiness, the host behaved inappropriately. I was meeting with a real estate agent to view apartments (a short-term stay was the only reason I booked this place), and before we left, the agent asked to use the bathroom. After that, the situation took a very uncomfortable turn. I went upstairs visibly distressed and on the verge of a panic attack, hoping Furkan would help or ask the man to leave, but instead, he showed zero empathy and immediately locked all his doors, as if I were the problem. He also regularly ignored messages and then lied about not having his phone, even though he had an AirPod in and his phone could be heard buzzing nearby under the couch. I wouldn’t be surprised if Furkan leaves a negative review in retaliation for this, but future renters deserve to know the truth. This listing should not be allowed to remain on Flatio. It’s misleading, restrictive, and feels more like a monitored trap than a welcoming rental. Avoid at all costs.

Flat was dirty and required full cleaning upon arrival. Easy to get the key and in a very calm / easy to access neighborhood

The reviews I have read on the flatio about this apartment were very flattering, which was the reason why I made the booking. However, the apartment appeared to be below my expectations. Apparently, there was an installation of a water heater the day before, and the floors were covered in some kind of construction dust. The host seemed to have tried to clean the mess, but it made the sink in the kitchen just dirtier. When I reported this case to Flatio, the host contacted me and sent his house keeper for an additional cleaning. I wish it had been done before I arrive. The dishwasher did not seem to work due to lack of salt or any other reasons, and the only solution I got was being sent the user guide. The bathroom smelled terrible of mold and canalization, even though I could not spot it, but I needed to keep the windows open all the time to make the smell bearable. When booking this apartment, please bear in mind that it is situated just in five minutes ride from the airport. It can be convenient, but the sound pollution is devastating. The airplanes are getting to land literally just above your head, and fly constantly from 5 am to 1 am. Totally do not recommend it if you are not a huge fan of airplanes or a photographer. As for positive aspects, the host was flexible on the arrival time and the neighborhood was safe.

house has cockroaches. one day I woke up with 3 in my bedroom. host said they can't do much about it. I am a young girl and was looking for digital nomad vibes, to work with other young like minded people but the only people coming and going the whole time were old, unclean men. for a month long, my whole stay. which made me feel uncomfortable and I didn't enjoy living in a dirty old men dominated place as a 26 year old. probably not what you're looking for if you want to rent long term as a young female digital nomad. there were some small wifi and water issues for a short time but the host was very responsive to these issues and they were rapidly solved.

If you enjoy being treated like an unwanted guest in a stranger’s over-decorated storage unit, this is the rental for you. From the moment I moved in, I was met with broken fixtures, dirty appliances, and personal belongings stuffed into nearly every drawer and cabinet, leaving me nowhere to unpack. When I brought up basic expectations—like functional lighting or a working doorbell—I was met with dismissiveness, condescension, and outright hostility. Alexandra made it painfully clear she saw the apartment as hers and me as some temporary inconvenience paying 30,000 crowns per month for the privilege of being ignored. When I requested actual solutions, I was told things like, “You don’t need that much space,” and “If you don’t like it, just leave.” So I did - I left. Do yourself a favor: avoid this place, avoid this owner, and avoid the stress. You’re renting an apartment, not entering a psychological endurance test.

2 stars. Firstly I enjoyed my 2 month stay in Albufeira away from the UK winter, just what I needed after 3 years of cancer treatment. However I’m afraid on arrival at the property I was disappointed in the condition also there is a lot of traffic noise but one gets used to that in time. There is a very useful and well stocked supermarket very close and in walking distance also there is a very pleasant park walk that leads down to the shops and restaurants and also the beach all being only a mile away. On entering the property via the gate and proceeding up the drive there are many broken floor tiles that are a health and safety issue not only for the elderly. The outside walls are very dirty and could do with repairing and painting as the property is letting down the area as neighbouring properties are well looked after. There was an outside lamp hanging down over the patio doors with bare wires exposed, maintenance did respond immediately when I pointed the danger to them. Upstairs has 2 bedrooms but neither doors close also the bathroom door doesn’t close. The upstairs landing light does not work. In the kitchen there are saucepans with handles that are almost falling off so could be very dangerous carrying hot liquids. Laminate on cupboards and draws is peeling off. The property is very rundown with paint peeling off the internal walls in many places and cracked tiles. The kitchen sink plug is the wrong size. No plugs for bathroom or downstairs cloakroom sinks. Fridge light not working. All that can be said of the BBQ is disgusting. I was told a gardener would come once a week but he came only once in 2 months so garden not looking good. The potential for this property is very good, it just needs looking after.

When I arrived in Porto, the host took forever to meet me and then brought me to an apartment that was completely different from the one I had signed the lease on. Bigger, yes, but much less liveable (undecorated, no view or natural light, constant noise from the lobby one floor below). It was the same building, but his flat was not clean, the bed was broken and there was no surface for me to work at. Before I pointed this out to him, there was no apology or explanation on his part. Then, to his credit, he brought me a mini-desk and chair, and the bed was fixed (although the latter took 4 weeks). Throughout this process though, I felt increasingly uncomfortable as he repeatedly asked me out for drinks and inquired after my lovelife. At one point, he decided to show me the apartment upstairs (the one I was paying for); my heart broke when I entered the bright, cozy room I'd fallen in love with online. Assuming he was providing me with an option - why else would he show me? - I asked if there was any way I could switch, maybe just for part of the 6 weeks I was staying in Porto, but he told me this was not possible. Resigning myself to the situation, I started pimping the space I was assigned (buying candles and plants), and asked if he'd consider giving me a discount instead. Suddenly, he became very cold with me and said I was welcome to find accomodation elsewhere. I couldn't - not on such short notice and with my budget - which he know, of course. So I made my peace with my big, cold apartment, the shower that only provided about 8 minutes of warm water, the broken freezer and power outages. When the coffee machine stopped working halfway through my stay, I was not surprised that the host made no effort to have it fixed or replaced. I will say this for the flat: you can't beat that location. I ended up having a wonderful time in Porto, but no thanks to this host. I truly believe he means well, but this is no way to treat people who pay good money for their stay and depend on you to make them feel comfortable and safe.

Property was in ok condition. The building and surrounding area was not. Trash and debris all around, looking from deck, derelict cars and trash. Front "security" door was always open. The walls, hallways and elevator were in poor, very used condition. Loud and angry neighbors. Etc.

This has been the worst experience I’ve ever had. Two days before my move-in date, I was informed that there was an issue with the house I booked. They told me they would arrange an alternative room for me. The house I originally booked was supposed to have sunlight and a balcony, but the replacement room had neither of those features, which was clearly a downgrade. They never mentioned anything about compensation; I was simply "informed" about this arrangement. They only mentioned compensation after I chased them down, and even then, I had to send multiple emails to get any details. When I finally moved in, I was told that some workers needed to fix something, but I was never given a clear explanation of what the issue was or what was being fixed. To this day, I'm still unclear on how they are handling it. This whole experience has been completely disappointing and stressful. Renting a house from them actually has totally destroyed my mood for my work trip.

The condition of the property was bad. The condo is outdated, and it needed urgent repairs. It was very cold some days inside, and two electrical portable oil heaters were not enough to have normal temperature inside. It was a very bad smell from the kitchen sink. The managing company HostWise and owners of the property ignored most of our requests. For example, they didn't want to give us a key from a mailbox for a very long time. They gave it to us only after our threat to cancel our rental. They sent us monthly invoices for 2024 only after many of our requests for invoices, but ignored our multiple requests for getting invoices for January and February 2025 completely!

Staying at this apartment was not a good experience for us. First the apartment is way to cold in winter for not having heating devices to warm the spaces. It is a very recent renovation of an old building where the original walls were fully cover with plasterboard, I think that there's a space between the original walls and the new ones where humidity get trapped and that make it a very cold space. To deal with that cold, we have to asked the host, Amelia, to give us a portable heater. Also mold forms in the bathroom roof and even in your backpacks. The floor is so cold that if you walk only with winter socks you feel your feet not only cold but wet. To add, the apartment and everything inside is almost new, but some of the appliances were like toys or decoration, like not intended to be used, if you used them they last for very few times. As the toaster and hand blender that were very cheap and of low quality ("perfectly enough" average of 12.99€). I will highly recommend the host, Amelia, to spend at least a week on that apartment during the winter season and while raining to really live and experiences what she, at this very moment, can only just see. In addition to the apartment itself, it was not a good experience for me to comunicate with Amelia Estevao. During our stay there were 4 services usually provided by a host to it's guest and that could had being done very easily, but for one reason or another, Amelia make each of those processes difficult and time consuming for me. I wonder why she did them that way. The services were: 1) Extend the rent period. 2) Payment of services in excess 3) Inspection of the apartment and writing of the protocol from takeover of residential premises. 4) Keys pick-up The first one, I want to write about is the Inspection of the apartment, the first time I asked Amelia to tell me when she was going to come to make the inspection of the apartment was 17 days before my check-out date and I asked her again 6 days before my check-out date. It took her 12 days to answered that to me. She wrote to me that she was not coming to make the inspection but that her husband is coming the day of the check-out. If she was not coming to make the inspection it means there's no way that there will be agreements between she and me about the way to solve defects and therefore the conditions needed to write down The Protocol from Takeover of Residential Premises were not met. I think they'd don't realized that, because her husband asked me, on the check-out day, to sign a document previously written by them. That is not what "The Protocol from Takeover of Residential Premises" is it all about, it cannot be written unilaterally by the host on his own an previous to the inspection. Knowing she was not coming to the inspection and knowing I will have to correct the defects before I left. I decided to bought a new toaster and a new, exactly the same, hand blender. The ones on the apartment just stop working from one day to the next. I also bought a new, exactly the same, chopping board. I accidentally put a too hot pan in top of it and even it still works it's purpose perfectly it ends up with a black (burn) circle, so it doesn't look "as new", anymore. I consider I did the best I could to solve the defects, when the host, Amelia, didn't even take the time to come and check her own apartment. Regarding the keys pick-up, she asked me if her husband could pick-up the keys at 9:00 am when the check-out time was at 11:00 am. We really tried to have everything ready at 9:00 am but we run a little bit late. Her husband was hurrying us when we have the right to be there until 11:00 am. We asked him to go inside the apartment some minutes after 9 am. I gave to him the new toaster, the new hand blender and the new chopping board. I also turn on many of the appliances and invite him to see that they were functioning properly (TV, router, refrigerator, stove, water heater, etc), but he seem not too interested and said to be in a hurry. He was there for about 20 minutes and take a very good look of the apartment. Since they have already booked the apartment by new guests to check-inn the next day, it was the opportunity for him to check the apartment and show me any defect he could found. He left the apartment without mentioning that he found any defect on the apartment. For last, he told us to left the apartment before 11:00 am. so he didn't pick up the keys. We left the apartment minutes after he left, the time that took to take videos/pictures and after finding out the code for the key-box. Regarding the payment of services in excess Amelia notify me that I have to pay for them 12 days after she received the electricity invoice. I would like for her to notify it earlier so we can do something about it sooner. She add that our use of electricity was to high, I consider she told me so because she didn't took on account the following facts: • The price for electricity was 17.611% higher in December than in January, that's written on the invoice. I think she has to know that fact, since she lives there, but she forgot to mentioned it to me. • We were using a portable heater that she bought that don't have a label of energy efficiency and probably was not very efficient using electricity. • The water heater was at the maximum temperature and the refrigerator was at the minimum temperature when we get there. • Last but not least, it was December, a month of celebrations, we celebrate Christmas and the New Year, so we cooked (used the oven more than usual), hear music, go to sleep later, etc. It is not that we, the person's that rent Amelia's apartment's used to much electricity, is that all over the world people use more electricity in December. I really tried to agreed with Amelia, on the amount to pay for services in excess. So I wrote several message to her for 17 days to get to a number and it was far to difficult: • Begining with the rents I payed, the only thing she has to do is to copy them from the Amendment and sum them. But she didn't, she kept on writing to me wrong rents payments, always lower than what I really payed. • Then, I asked Amelia questions about the services as: Do this apartment shared the same internet with the other apartment upstairs? (she owns that apartment too) That simple question offended her. • Then, getting the invoices, she only send 2 invoices that were real invoices and that the whole period of time they were charging were when I was actually renting de apartment; 1 electricity invoice and 1 water invoices, their sum didn't exceed the maximum stablish by Flatio. I wrote several messages to Amelia to asked her to send the internet invoices but she never send a real internet invoice, just sent a screenshot of an e-mail from her internet provider. • And for last with some invoices it is necessary to agreed on how much of the charge was really used by us as tenants; For example, that screenshot of an e-mail from her internet provider was asking for the payment of 52.81€ for 30 days. We were not renting the apartment jet, for 25 of those 30 days. The same happened with a water invoice that she sent to me, we were not renting the apartment for 13 days of the 30 days that invoice was charging. One night at 01:24 am, she wrote to me this: "As despesas ficam por minha conta." Then, the same day few hours later 22:53, she wrote something that made no sense to me, so I asked her some questions to try to understand it, she just didn't answer them. She never send an invoice or mention anything about the payment for the services in excess anymore. What I can say is that, according to the meters, at the end of our stay we manage to lower 34% our electricity consumption and manage to lower 23% water consumption in relation to the December invoices. The last service I will mention is when I asked her to extend my stay, it took her about 4 days for her to register a valid agreed amendment at Flatio's Website. First she create one with a Rent that was almost twice the price of the Rent I had already payed. Then she create another that extend my stay for 2 years more than I was asking and with the same doubled wrong price. Repeatedly, Amelia was not involved in the service she has to give to us and she was not willing to accomplish each of them, also her communication with me was erratic and it became a bad experience for me.

Low value for money. Very high price for very low quality of apartment.

I’ve traveled the world extensively (not staying in hotels) so I didn’t have any expectations like that) my issues relate to privacy. There are windows into the shared bathroom from an adjacent room that looks directly to the shower. All other windows similar (into bedrooms) are painted but not the bathroom??? The room was not spacious as described. No bigger than a normal single bedroom. Plus a host of other privacy concerns. I believe the host to have entered my ‘locked’ room when I wasn’t there.

Ubytování katastrofa, byt extrémě smrděl, bylo tam asi 150kytek, paní si nějaké odvezla, ale stejně tam nechala květiny ve skleničkách s vodou která smrděla a ten smrad nešel vyvětrat a špatně se tam dýchalo, peřiny a polštáře byly celé flekaté, jako kdyby nechci říkat od čeho, na vyžádání zašlu fotografie, vše mám nafocené. Za byt jsem zaplatila 15tis na 2 týdny, ale spala tam 1 noc díky těmto okolnostem. Radím vám všem, neplaťte si toto ubytování, za tu cenu to nestojí, musela jsem také na vlastní náklady nechat zatuchlou sedící soupravu. Navíc tam ani není TV, pouze strašně moc obrazů a květin, to ani na propagačních fotkách není vidět, ale když zaplatíte a přijdete na byt, tak se nestačíte divit. Katastrofa

Moc špatně

The owner was sweet but The room was too dusty, the shower is basically you showering on top of the toilet and risking the whole house to flood, didn’t have any space in the fridge, so i basically just stayed kinda my whole stay outside, couldn’t even sleep there cause of how dusty it is, it said i have my own entrance, which is also not true, and basically no privacy and no key to the room i was in so I didn’t feel safe.

Не советую!!!

Because it was Autumn we found the apartment was always cold and damp and clothes smelt of the damp and after the two months even mould was forming on clothes and shoes. Being on the ground floor the entrance door to the apartments was always very noisy which also spoilt our experience. The positive aspects were it was convenient to getting to the beaches and old town. The Wi-Fi worked very well. The interaction with the key holder Isabel was very good. I would not recommend this apartment in the Autumn/Winter and the noise from the entrance and the neighbours spoilt our experience and that is why we left earlier than originally planned.

Jakub was the most unpleasant host. Everything was fine besides the cheap build of the apartment. On check-out, there were a few minor issues which he tried to charge me €3,000.00+ for - basically tried to steal from me. On top of that, I was notified from another tenant that the neighboring apartment had a bedbug infestation. I was extremely worried during my entire stay that it would spread to the unit I was staying in. Do yourself a favor and do not stay here. HOST'S REPLY: Christopher did not vacate the apartment properly. He left some of his belongings behind, failed to clean it before leaving, broke my vacuum cleaner and drying rack, and caused stains and damage to the walls and curtains. Cleaning and repairing the apartment after he left cost me more than CZK 25,000. Additionally, I had to cancel the new tenant who was supposed to rent the apartment after him. There was never any issue with bedbugs in the apartment. The interior was designed by an architect, and most of the furniture and equipment were custom-made.

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

So the main issue was the fridge was not working and couldnt use the kitchen. I told the problem but noone cared about it.

I stayed there with family one kid and two adults.The house is not T1 or T2 it is actually t0 which was tried converted in t2. The rooms has no door as there are very tiny rooms no space for doors additionally there is no door to toilet even. I had very bad experience. Not recommended for family but yes for only for one person. You can go there if you have car because it is village area no uber or bolt works there.

This is a ground floor single-sided apartment that has all its windows and a glass door facing a shared enclosed outdoor space which is its only means of ventilation. Two active car dealer garages form the remaining three sides of the outdoor space and have numerous windows opening onto it. Oil and exhaust fumes can be smelled in the enclosed space. There is also little privacy since the garage windows directly face the apartment, there are no curtains and the glass door does not have an exterior shutter. The only way to access the shared outdoor space from the building is through this apartment. The apartment has an alarm system with a detector in the living room pointing towards the glass door. The ad's photos of the living area are old and do not show it. There is a locked space in the apartment the host uses as private storage. The ad's old photos show this space open to the living room. We did not stay in the apartment.
