I stayed throughout the heatwave of July and it was a pleasure to return every day to the peace and quiet and the coolness of the rooms. I slept at night without AC.
The location gives perfect walking access to the historic centre and all there is to see - both sides of the river and further afield.
The accommodation itself is spacious and airy with an adjoining small terrace. I stayed alone and also for a couple it would be perfect.
Catarina is fluent in English and French and always responded speedily to any requests for information I had.
The kitchen has everything you need for home dining and is adjacent to a large dining room. I ate mostly on the terrace.
The one downside for some I suspect would be the bathroom. It’s more of a wet room with hinged doors to form a shower cubicle. I’m tall and fairly large and found it fine - in fact the shower itself is good. Two couldn’t use it simultaneously. As I say - I personally found it fine / cleverly designed - but not a conventional layout with bath, shower cubicle.
I stayed 4 weeks and very much enjoyed being there. The immediate neighbourhood is alive with plenty of eateries, bars and a food market. Great place to stay and feel a part of the city.
