Casa Touriga 129

Location Decor

There were 3 bedroom areas but 1 was accessed via another this was not really clear on the advertising If we had known we would have looked for something with 3 proper bedrooms We had 5 adults (2 couples and a singlet) Privacy was compromised

Location fantastic.

Upstairs shower a bit cramped,

Very close to trolley stop. Good cafe on 1st floor. Lots of space. Has the charm of Portugal.

Advertised as 3 bedrooms. Actually 2 bedrooms, 3rd sleeping area is loft outside 2nd bedroom. So no privacy since loft overlooked living area. Since 4 adults needing 3 bedrooms , this didn’t work well for us. Loft area is pitched —a little low for most adults. Bathroom in 2nd bedroom also pitched which made using shower a challenge. Living room only has a couch for sitting—also not a comfortable couch.

The place was as pictured, very clean and in a prime location for restaurants and the bathrooms which were well stocked toilet paper and towels. The kitchen was nice with microwave/oven/ refrigerator and kettle. There was a washer and drying rack. Picking up the keys was very easy - they met us at the apartment and we were able to get in sooner thanks to the flexible check-in. Not sure what would happen if we arrived outside work hours but we definitely appreciated the quick response and easy communication. There were fans which really helped since A/C was only in the 2 bedrooms.

Issues- The coffee maker capsules where not found in the close grocery store and there were really no other appliances and minimal cooking dishes. We did buy a french press for our coffee. The entry way has incredibly steep steps and the upstairs is an angled in various areas so you may have to duck in some when standing up if you are taller.
