Hugo is a warm and communicative host who went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable during our stay. He clearly cares about his guests and wanted us to have a good time.
The apartment has great natural light, and the glass windows in the kitchen give a modern feel. The wifi is 5G and the cinema projector is a novel viewing experience.
Unfortunately, we had to leave the apartment early as we are a co-working couple and the apartment didn't meet our needs.
A few important notes to future travelers:
- It's a studio loft (i.e. no separate bedroom)
- There's a view of the Douro River & Ocean from the edge of the balcony and the apartment hallway, but not from within the apartment itself.
- It's located right next to the motorway. While the double-paned windows do a good job at blocking some noise, the traffic can be unpleasant if you're sensitive to sound.
- The gym, pool and sauna are not in the building, but rather part of a health club next door, which costs 20 EUR per day or 50 EUR per week to access.
