Guest Access
Full access to the entire apartment — kitchen, bedrooms, and private deck. Make yourself at home.
Interaction with Guests
Our brand rests on one principle above all: independence, not absence. The smart lock removes the friction of a fixed handover — it doesn't remove the host. We're currently based between Copenhagen and Leicester, hosting remotely by design, and reachable 24/7 through the Airbnb app, chat, or phone, usually within the hour. We also have friends nearby in Saldanha who can step in on the ground if anything needs a physical presence.
Other Details to Note
The home is set up for a maximum of six registered guests. No parties or events.
Additional Rules
The Obvious
Take care of the house as you would your own, and leave everything where you found it. No food or drinks on the sofa. No smoking indoors (including vaping). No unregistered guests, no parties. Turn off the air conditioning when you leave or when windows are open.
Checking Out
Return furniture and décor to their original place. Sort and dispose of waste in the ground-floor staircase containers — yellow lid for plastic, metal, and cartons; blue lid for paper and cardboard; grey lid for general waste (closed bags). Close all windows and doors.
Local Laws
As required by Portuguese law, we ask all guests for personal ID data, which is reported to the local authorities.
Post/Use of Address
This is a short-term rental — please don't use the address for post, correspondence, or official matters. Arrange deliveries through courier during your stay.
Long Stays
For stays of 30 days or more, please be mindful of electricity use. Consumption above 350 kWh/month is charged in addition to the monthly fee.
Insects & Wildlife
Lisbon's warm, green pockets come with the occasional mosquito, gnat, or lovebug depending on the season. We run regular pest control but can't promise a guarantee — keeping doors closed and food stored away helps keep it that way.
Check-in Method / Smart Lock Instructions
Jacaranda runs on a smart lock rather than physical keys.
Before arrival:
1. Download the Danalock app — Google Play · App Store
2. Sign in → Create an account → enter your email → set your password (twice)
3. Activate both key links (Street and Upstairs), sent the day before arrival
When at Jacaranda:
1. Jacaranda – Street link opens the downstairs door (brown door on the street)
2. Jacaranda – Upstairs link opens the upstairs door (to the left as you go up)
3. Green padlock opens the door · Red padlock closes it
Sharing keys: the primary guest sets up the account and installs the key; other guests download the app and sign in with the same email and password — everyone shares one key.
For smooth entry: keep Bluetooth on; don't reuse the activation link once the key is installed (it will error); keys only show as active near the door; keep your phone's OS and the Danalock app updated.
