Our arrival went smoothly and as Pete said Vera was there to greet us with the keys. Pete contacted us shortly after our arrival to talk us around the apartment and its facilities. There was also an information pack of helpful tips and hints for staying in the apartment, and a bottle of wine waiting for us in the fridge which was a nice touch.
The apartment proved to be even better than we had anticipated, very spacious, beautifully furnished and with everything our family of six could possibly need for a comfortable four night stay. The location on the fifth floor of a traditional building, I am sure, could not be bettered, with a good variety of food shops within a few metres, and the many bars and restaurants of the Biarro Alto district are nearby. As expected the views of the river from the balcony were impressive, and having that small area of outside space only added to the relaxing atmosphere of the apartment.
Overall we were extremely impressed with the accommodation and grateful to Pete, Michele and Chuck for helping us enjoy a beautiful city break. We felt very at home there for our family stay and could not fault anything about it, so thank-you!!
