Luxury Apartments Portugal Experience

I’m in short term housing for a luxury apartment from a seemingly trusting seller (they have 30+ luxury properties in Lisbon and much more in Spain, Germany, and others). The apartment is beautiful, ignoring some minor things as it’s just an old building. However, arriving in the apartment, I was shocked to find:

• the floor is completely dirty and dusty, walking for a few footsteps and your feet were dirty

• the kitchen had dirt marks all over the furniture and a smell

• I saw two cockroaches in the kitchen (explaining the dirt marks from their poop)

• it’s a long term apt, but I would expect that the trash bins would come with plastic bags for your first day. there were none. also one bedroom has an empty soap.

• actually one really nice thing is that the apartment came with 250g coffee from “the coffee”, which was a really nice surprise. unfortunately it was pre-ground finely which is for espresso machines, but there is only a french press which requires coarse grinds :(

Yeah yeah I know Lisbon has a heated real estate market, but paying nearly $4k a month for an uncleaned, unmaintained and cockroach-filled apartment is completely crazy.
