Felicidade was a perfect host at every step. She answered all my questions quickly before I checked in and she was quick to respond during our stay as well. She was extremely warm and friendly and spoke pretty good English as well. She even met us at the train station and helped us with our bags! Very sweet. We had a lot of bags because we were traveling with our 1 year old daughter.
The apartment itself is very cute and charming and is better than the photos suggest. The apartment is on the small size but was perfect for us. If you’re an unusually big or a tall person, this might not be the right place for you. But I like small spaces. So cozy and full of character. The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom was great for sleeping. There was a great view of the river up there and I caught a gorgeous moonrise from that window as well. There’s a smaller bedroom downstairs that we had our baby sleep in which worked great.
The kitchen is a little cramped for serious cooking but we only made breakfast and lunch there.
The apartment is on the 2nd floor and the steps going up are steep for someone old or unstable but it was fine for us.
The location is excellent. It’s close to tons of great sights and restaurants.
There are also shutters on the windows that do an excellent job of blocking out noise and light for bedtime.
In addition, the apartment was very clean inside when we arrived - which is always nice.
All in all, I highly recommend this place. And for the price, it’s an incredible value.
