This is a fantastic place to stay, right around the corner from the waterfront. Although the building faces a busy street the flat faces an inner courtyard and roofs so it’s incredibly quiet. The flat was immaculate and there are lots of nice touches throughout including incense and scented shower gel. Really nice interior design as well. The TV has loads of English news channels and you can connect to Netflix and Prime, etc. The kitchen is fully equipped. The Wifi works very well although my husband complained it wasn’t as fast as we have as home haha. The bed is very comfortable but warning: there is no top sheet, just a duvet, so neither of us slept well being alternately hot and cold during the night. Katherine suggested putting on the AC but that really wouldn’t have solved the issue. A top sheet at home does the trick for us without having to waste extra energy! Anyway there is heat but the flat was comfortable temperature anyway when we entered. There is also a hairdryer and ironing board.
Also note: you cannot check in earlier than 4pm, which kinda sucks if you’re arriving earlier like we did. We just carried our luggage with us down to the waterfront and drank wine and port in the sun so not a big deal. Now we know you can store your luggage a 5-min walk up the hill at a kiosk built into the old market (€3.5 for small, €5 for medium luggage for a whole day, open 9-5 each day). We used that for the day we checked out as our flight wasn’t until that evening.
Overall still a great place, with some minor caveats.
