"Very good"

8.0

It's as old as Coimbra. The location is very good, but if you have heavy suitcases, be aware that it's in the middle of a pedestrian street and cars can't get close. There's also no elevator and the entrance and stairs are very narrow. The reviews said the mattresses were a bit uncomfortable, and that's true.

"Would not stay again, would not recommend"

1.0

- The apartment is in a nice central location - The keys and check in process is very easy

- The music from downstairs blasts through the apartment at full volume until around 8pm. - The couch has a huge gash through it. - The floor is so flimsy it feels like you’re going to fall right through, especially near the windows, bedrooms and bathroom. - The bathroom has no working drain, and the shower head has no attachment on the wall. So not only do you need to hold the shower head above your head yourself to take a shower, you’ll also be accidentally flooding the bathroom simultaneously. How there is no drain is beyond me. - The wooden floor boards at the entrance of the bathroom are mouldy too, indicating the flooding issue to have happened before. And yet it hasn’t been fixed !! - No functional heating at all. - The host is not receptive to issues pertaining to the property, and will ignore any messages requesting clarification or help. - The host is uncommunicative, and made no effort to absolve any discomforts we faced during our stay.

"Very pleasant"

8.0

Fantastic location, very convenient and spacious.

Just small things like a hook in the shower to hang the shower head, the one that was there was broken, it would also be nice to have a bottle of water in the fridge available for the guests upon arrival!

"Not good option if travel by car"

7.0

The location was unbeatable

Booking.com indicated that parking was available, I inquired 3 times over the 6 months since I made the booking and was only andwered 2 days before arrival, to say no parking on site - too late to change. The discloth was dirty, no inners for the bedding. Overall dissapointing

"Good"

7.0

Location is right in the center, so perfect!

Basic goods were not available; only 2 toilet rolls for a 8 day stay. Old sponge in kitchen. Bathroom shower to be held in your hand, because the stand is broken. Also small and old bathroom towels available. An iron board, but no iron available. Small details that make a big a big difference in convenience.

"The worst accommodation we have stayed in. Poor management and maintenance."

1.0

The only good thing about this apartment is the location.

The worst accommodation we have stayed in. Totally overpriced at €650 for 2 night, but then we were there to see Coldplay, so understood the price was increased considerably because of this. Had the apartment been in good condition then fine, but sadly it was not. The fire extinguisher was out of date. It should have been serviced in July 2019! On these grounds the apartment should not hold an AL license. The first aid box was empty. The kitchen equipment was far from adequate. Not even an electric kettle. Air conditioning is a free standing machine. You had to open the whole window and hang the tube out, letting the hot air in - pointless. As per previous customers comments, the shower has no support, the grouting needs replacing. Bin in the shower room rusty and the peddle broken. No shower mat was provided, as per previous guest comments. The apartment is classified as having two bedrooms. The single bedroom is actually a corridor that leads to the main bedroom. So no privacy whatsoever for the person sleeping there, and we had to tip toe through the so called 'bedroom' to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. The linen for the beds is extremely poor quality. But worse still are the bed pillows. They were not bed pillows, but saggy old decorative pillows. So much so that we purchased 3 pillows and pillowcases from a local store. We also had to purchase 3 bath towels, as the ones provided were thread bare, and the size ridiculous, 1,20 x 55 cm. Like a long hand towel! We used them as shower mats. We reported all of these issues to the host immediately. He was completely disinterested, and was not able to provide replacement towels and pillows. When we asked where we could purchase some locally, he gave us a store that was a long way from the apartment. Google maps gave two other options, just 200 metres down the road. When we left we returned all of the items to the store for them to give to a local charity.

"Excellent location pulls you in but don’t go in the winter. Way too cold in the unit. Expect to be disappointed"

2.0

only good thing was the location

Too cold. No heat. Shower was hand held as the wall holder was broken. Three year old reviews show the same problem. Towels were well worn to the point of see through. Dish cloth and dish drying cloth looked like floor rags. Four day stay with a two day supply of toilet paper. We went to the Dollar Store and bought extra paper and dish cleaning supplies as well as a toilet brush. Bed was comfortable. Sofa not so much. When we were inside we were wrapped in a bedspread or wore our coats.
