    Great location overlooking the square (bit not noisy even late in the evening). Handy to explore this beautiful little city and its wonderful eateries. Well-equipped, well-furnished, clean and comfortable. Easy access. Can't fault it.

    The place is beautiful, exactly like the pictures with everything you need. Very central with many bars and restaurants just outside, beautiful. The beds were super comfortable and the windows I managed pure blackout to be able to sleep better. Really lovely and will lovely touches.

    The fact there is no en suite is not made clear, we were lucky that our shared bedroom with the room next to us was just for us as that room wasn't booked. The price is expensive for what you are getting.

    This hotel has a good location

    Location was great, the rest...not so much.

    We had a room on the very top floor (3 flights of stairs) with a rather funky balcony, funky chairs. The bathroom (particularly the shower) was not well maintained. The biggest problem was the very loud street noise that went on until 3 am. The windows, when closed, do nothing to mitigate the noise, so we had very little sleep both nights.

    The central location was good for exploring. We were able to park the car quite nearby.

    No any reception to contact and clear our doubts. When you are there it's all up to you.

    Best apartment that I have ever stayed in my life. Quiet and clean. To enter into the house there is a bit puzzle but if you read email carefully there is no need to worry about that all the instruction are attached to email. Thank you Bragabells

    The cleaning of the apartment could have been better (we found hair on top of the ceramic plate in the kitchen). The biggest negative point is that there is no place to keep your bags after checkout and they don't offer a real solution (they just said: speak with the cafes on the street but none of them was open on a Sunday at 11 am, so we had to carry our heavy bags everywhere until the time we had to leave).

    The location is incredibly central and the apartment is spacious. It offers good value for money.

    they didn’t mention you have a shared bathroom!!! the walls are paper thin, no staff available if any issues arise. this was a bait and switch. the photos make it look lovely and you end up in basically a hostel.

    The bathroom was very poorly laid out which made it difficult to use. Shower was very slippery while in use which was very dangerous. Bathroom floor got wet while using the shower everytime which was also dangerously slippy. Internet was almost useless as connection was dreadful in our room. The door to our room was very difficult to lock and unlock, handle was breaking and had obviously been 'fixed' before. No staff on site at all throughout our stay, we had no face to face contact with anyone, only communication was via email or message. This was odd and very impersonal. One of the air-conditioning units smelled like urine while operating.

    Bed was very comfortable, good sized bedrooms and lots of storage. Location was excellent, easy to reach the train station and all of the historic centre. Lots of restaurants and bars immediately outside but we weren't disturbed by noise

    A big disappointment.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Double Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The worst thing was that the room was heavily (lavender?) scented, almost to the point of making me nauseous. The room was a converted attic and the ceiling was so low in places that I hit my head several times — and I’m only 5’ 9” tall!. The bed was soft and sagged a bit. And the trek up to my room was 67 steps! And finally, even though I was given a WiFi password, during the two days I was there, WiFi worked for only the first few hours. Then unable to connect. At first, I thought this was storm related, but places nearby had WiFi during the storm. The only contact from the owner during my stay was a reminder to pay the $3 city tax. Overall, very disappointed, and cannot recommend this place. NOTE: No parking is provided, and parking is horrendous in this area. If you do find a spot, it is good for only 2 hours, and requires payment.

    The room was very clean, and there were ample towels.

    I have travel a lot, and this might’ve been the cutest room I have ever stayed in. I stayed in Avenida da Liberdade on the third floor. It was decorated in such a lovely fashion, and it had everything one needs, including a small kitchen area. And the location! Practically sitting on top of the Se Cathedral. You couldn’t ask for a better location, with lovely restaurants and cafes nearby. Although there was some street noise in the evening, from the third floor it didn’t bother me at all, as it was just a general hum. As mentioned by others, the guesthouse has no elevator, which might be challenging for some to carry luggage up to the upper floors.
