Urban Views Townhouse Infante

Brightness, beds were comfy, close to very good bakery (Divinal Confeitarias) and great Portuguese restaurant (Rito). Happy to have a big private parking spot. Communication was easy.

There was only 1 bathroom, not 2 as described. 2 toilets, yes. It´s a city of course but we couldn´t sleep with an open window. The big street is noisy ...

Irene was there to meet us and make sure that we were settled into the unit.

house a good size and clean and roof terrace of a good size. Irene the host very friendly and easy to contact and also helped out with printing return boarding passes and storing our luggage. Area away from touristy parts of city and plenty of bars and cafes close.

Maybe a bit far out of town if walking not your bag. Shower head a bit small seeing the pressure so good and also a few dodgy decking boards on the roof terrace.

The house is beautiful, but ...

... size does matter! We have been cheated on size! When we booked in January 2023 and also after our departure in July 2023 it was written on Booking.com that the size is 170 m2. Instead we found a beautiful, but very tiny house. Level 1 is the garage (= zero living area). Level 2 are two sleeping rooms and a bath room with a total living area of 31 m2. Level 3 are a combined kitchen and living room and a toilet with a total living area of 31 m2. Level 4 is a terrace with about 32 m2; when calculating living area the surface of a terrace has to be multiplied by a factor of 0,5. Therefore the living area on Level 4 is 16 m2. (Comment: there are 7m2 for the stairs per level, but stairs don't count as living area). Adding up the living area gives following result: 31 + 31 + 16 = 78 m2. Bottom line: we have been cheated. The house has less than half of the stated size!

Location is good, 20 min walk to city, also shops, bars nearby only minutes away, the top deck is great place to have drinks, snacks in late afternoon, evening. Beautiful apartment inside, very homely place, comfortable beds, quite area. Irene is a lovely host and went the extra to make our stay better.

nothing really, note there is no lift, but only have to carry luggage up one flight of stairs, not really a problem, second flight stairs and your in lounge kitchen, another flight and your on top deck, their is a toilet on level 1 & 2. apartment key locks a bit tricky, but worked it out.

The property was well-located, and we could easily reach the city center on foot. The host, Irene, was very helpful, constantly communicating with us and doing her best to answer any questions we had. She suggested places to visit and ensured a pleasant stay.

We liked everything
