    Can’t think of anything we didn’t like.

    We loved the modernness of the space with the charm of the older furnishings. The apartment was spacious and well furnished with basic supplies. We were delighted to find a bag of chips and a bottle of wine that was included with the apartment. The clothes washer worked well and the water pressure in the showers was outstanding. Beds were comfortable as well.

    Noise level was a little high as it was the end of the semester. It was tolerable, just not ideal. No way this can be controlled by the property so would stay again.

    It would have been great if there was a washing machine, although not sure where they could put one 😁

    The apartment is right at the old wall entrance. It was nestled in its own plaza. The apartment itself was clean and well equipped. Loved our stay.

    It was somewhat difficult to get to with luggage. If you have a car, drop off your luggage near the Santa Cruz church before parking. Be sure to tell them if you need the sleeper sofa set-up.

    The studio was just as pictured. Has everything you need. The hosts left a snack and wine. The location is in the midst of major attractions, restaurants, and shops.

    While the facilities were excellent, and it was flat (a major plus in Coimbra), there was one major problem. Live music is played directly outside 6 nights a week. If you are only staying a week, that isn't so bad. But there were three musicians with play lists on repeat. I stayed three weeks and heard the same play lists six times each.

    The location was excellent, in that it was easy to walk to shopping and to the elevator to the university. The facilities were also great.

    The apartment is right above a bar which generated quite a bit of noise in the evening. The noise couldn’t be heard from the back bedroom but could be from the bedroom closer to the street - ear plugs recommended. The building roof also leaks in heavy rain and water comes into the hall way, which was a bit of a surprise!

    Great location - right in old part of Coimbra, close to shops, restaurants and other amenities. Having two bathrooms was great and the place was spacious, clean, beautiful and well equipped.

    It was a little noisy at night, particularly on the Saturday night that we stayed. It was difficult to get the temperature right on the shower and the shower head would not stay in position. The floor tiles were loose in places.

    The location was excellent, there was a good welcome pack on arrival, the apartment was very homely and spacious and there were plenty of places to sit comfortably. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you would need for a short stay.

    Nothing - this was a fabulous stay.

    This apartment was fantastic - very large and well-equipped. We especially appreciated the washer with drying rack and detergent pods. The location was perfect - just off the main pedestrian street with balconies overlooking the plaza and ancient city arch. The restaurant below was lively and had a musician performing until about 11pm which we liked although this might be a drawback for some. The hosts recommended convenient free parking across the bridge at the convent which worked well for us. Communication was all done via Booking.com and whatsapp and it was seamless. They provided an extra door key upon our request.

    Because of the perfect location for sightseeing, the car access was impossible to the property. We had to park 5 minutes away and roll out suitcases up the hills.

    It was great to be right in the center of the historic town close to everything we wanted to see. We even had our own entertainment on the square in front of our windows. Every night there was a musician playing popular music!
