Gonçalo & Carolina were very good and nice hosts. The electronic check-in went smoothly. We were even allowed to pick up our suitcases a few hours after the check-out, which was very nice and accommodating. A bottle of wine for us and a bottle of good water in the fridge were a wonderful gesture that impressed us very much.
The beautiful, perfectly tidy and exemplary clean apartment, however, is noticeably outside the city centre (expect public transport of 40-50 minutes to the city centre). You also have to climb two steep stairs (one in the house and one inside the apartment itself). The apartment is full of designer items and very stylish, but not always practical for a tired tourist seeking relaxation.
For example, the chairs at the table are quite uncomfortable with their hard, straight backrests. The double bed has a narrow width and is only suitable for two slim people. With a total of four beds, there was only one bedside lamp. Shelf space is scarce. In the bathroom there are no poles for drying shower towels.
The apartment does not have a single clock. At the east window the sun protection is missing, we had to protect ourselves from the full morning sun by hanging up a towel. And when opening the window the desk lamp falls down in front of the window...
But the kitchen is particularly special. Although well equipped, it is actually only suitable for small people. The stove and work surface are directly under a sloping roof, and the refrigerator is in a low chamber with a door no higher than 1.30 meters, you have to bend down completely. On the way between the kitchen and the room there are also two steps of different heights, and one has to be very careful when serving and clearing the food.
And don't forget: A tourist needs a power strip in the bedroom! After all, he has to charge his smartphone, tablet and camera overnight!
But those who can cope with all this will find a large, beautiful and high-quality apartment here. Maybe something for young people. We would like to thank the nice host!
