My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights. In the mornings we would explore the city and work in the afternoon and evening.
The location and the space is great! Filipa let us drop off the bags two hours before check in and we were able explore the city.
However, there are some things to keep in mind when starting here:
1. On our first day we tried taking a shower and realized that the drain wasn’t working well. I messaged Filipa and sent her pictures of the overflow. She arrived the next day and made it drain a bit better - it was okay for the following days. But the messaging back and forth and trying to make it work on my own per her instructions took a bit of my time and energy which I could have spent enjoying the space and the area.
2. If you have suitcases on wheels, you’ll end up rolling that on a cobbled stone street. Uber and Bolt can’t get right to the door of the building and will stop a couple of streets away (depending on what side you’re coming from).
3. The internet speed wasn’t great - not enough for zoom calls, but suitable for social media and email checking.
4. Make sure to bring earplugs - it’s really loud late in the evening.
5. The check out process wasn’t communicated to us. We were expecting that she’ll pick up the keys in person just like it was at check in. We ended up waiting for about half hour for Filipa’s response with the directions on what to do. That was a bit unpleasant, considering that we were in a rush.
