Note: These studios are serviced apartments, meaning that unless you wish otherwise, a member of staff will come everyday to your studio to clean and change the towels.
Positive:
- Flawless check-in process, everything was explained in detail beforehand by the owner.
- Location less than 1 minute walking to the railway Station Parede
- Studio was top clean and well equipped with new fixtures. Great size shower area with good water pressure, comfy bed and strong Wi-Fi
- Great communication with the owner Ricardo, which replied very promptly to my enquiries.
Negative:
- Quite noisy in the evening. Even when windows are closed you can hear: the loud trains from the station, (up until 1am), the garbage collection at the early hours of the day (not every night though) and during the weekends the noise from people dining outside the restaurant
- No soap or hand gel for the hands in the bathroom at arrival, got it immediately after asking about it, but then the service staff took it away the next day.
- No Information that we are getting a serviced apartment, I personally book Airbnb to avoid certain services and feel more at home in a flat compared to a hotel but here It did felt more like a hotel and not your typical Airbnb. Some people may enjoy it that way, I didn’t.
Nothing wrong with it per se, I just wish I‘ve had that Information before hand.
