Once we walked up the 4 flights of stairs and the door was opened to the apartment, it was like WOW! This place is fantastic. Very, very attractive and the location is unbelievable. You are probably 100’ to the river and you have a view of the river from the balcony. It is very clean, the bed very comfortable and the shower was fantastic. We just loved EVERYTHING about their apartment. My husband is 73 (2 full knee replacements) and I am 62 and the stairs are not a problem for us. We like it because it keeps us fit. We have found zero elevators in these older buildings during our 6 week trip through Spain and Portugal.
Everybody on the street knows Cristina and Carlos so if you have to park in a space that might seem illegal, in order to drop off your luggage, it’s not a problem. They all look out for each other! Or you could arrive and there is a legal spot, all the better.
Cristina met us and she was quick to respond throughout the whole process. Very easy check in. The apartment is very good looking and has everything you would need in a kitchen to cook meals. We were also able to find free parking within walking distance. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Small note: when your map app tells you to take this one particular turn and you see the red circle with the line through it, ignore it and go on through. It is a very short bit and we saw other people go through it as well. You have to do this or you won’t be able to drive right up to the apartment.
