The hosts are completely honest in their description of the apartment. Yes, it is on the 5th floor. There is, however, NO ELEVATOR. Thanks so much to the kind man on the 3rd floor who helped my wife with her suitcase from the 3rd floor up to the 5th while I tried to find a parking space nearby which brings me to my next point. Yes, there is parking on the street but virtually all is reserved for residents of that zone. The nearest parking garage is an Uber ride away and good luck finding a place to double park while loading/unloading.
The listing doesn’t mention air conditioning. Shame on me for missing that. There is NO AIR CONDITIONING.
The photos of the apartment are indeed of this apartment but are so well lit that they must have had a professional photographer with studio lighting to come in to do the shots. The apartment is very dark and dingy nothing like the bright well lit photos.
The apartment did have beds which is true. Where they comfortable? NO.
The balcony highlighted in the listing is beautiful and was definitely the high point of the stay. We thoroughly enjoyed drinking a bottle of wine and watch the people and plaza below while the street musicians played. The winner out of all this was kind man who lended his assistance to my wife. He ended up with a cake and the best bottle of DOC reserve red wine from the Douro Valley that we could find in a nearby shop. I do have to apologize to the hosts for being 15 minutes late vacating the apartment because it took forever to get the Uber to the parking garage and drive back to a place where I could double park to load our bags. However, it in no way impeded the cleaning crew. My wife welcomed them in at 10:00. Luckily, she was there. They forgot their keys.
