The host is very responsive and went out of her way to make us comfortable, including a brand new babybed with linens and high chair. She lives in the building so was close by for anything that came up.
We stayed for one rainy, cool week. The host furnished a space heater for the upstairs and downstairs. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs, which are a good option if you have older guests and kids that you want to keep off the stairs. Small bathroom and 2 bedrooms upstairs. There is a nice big dining room table but not really any other common space/living room to hang out in, apart from a couch upstairs. In my opinion, two of the four beds were very uncomfortable—one could feel the springs coming through—-and the front bedroom on the lower level was fairly noisy at night. The apartment is on the top floor, so there are a number of stairs to climb without an elevator. The location was great for the Ribiera—very close to the river and tons of restaurants and shops. It’s a bit of a steep walk down to the river though, on cobblestones, which was a concern for the older guests. The street on which the apt sits also has great restaurants right across the street. Again, can’t stress enough how lovely the host was to work with.
