Very good
Good location but has issues
Liked: The apartment is in an excellent location in the old town, directly opposite Igres Sao Bartolomeu (very important as there are NO markings on the door so you have no idea where the apartment is! The studio room was a very good size. The power shower was great, just a tip though... in Portugal the hot water is from a tank, and it runs out quickly. We had to turn the shower off whilst putting shampoo on etc or the water ran cold. This is common in Portugal. Various English channels on the tv with Portuguese subtitles. Windows open fully or can tilt, has wooden shutters which keep the room nice and dark at night. There is an electric heater.
Disliked: They don't tell you on here that there are 58 STEPS to get up to apartment 4!! It only says there are stairs to some apartments, but for all we knew it could have been on the first floor! Really unsuitable for people like me with mobility issues. Also, the side of the staircase is about a 10 inch drop so a small child could easily get a leg stuck falling, very dangerous. The apartment is apparently suitable for pets, but again, I would worry about little dogs with these stairs. The bed is VERY, VERY noisy!! We everytime you turn over it creaks loudly and wakes you up. The mattress is about a medium, not firm so my husband and I woke up with back and hip ache each day. The rooms are not soundproofed at all. On two occasions, people in rooms downstairs were really noisy in the middle of the night (2-3am) and kept us awake. The kitchen is very small and not practical to actually cook in. The pots provided do not fit in the tiny sink and there is no draining board. There is no tin opener, no jug, no colander. You can hear the street music with the windows closed, which we really liked, but it may be an issue for some. On the booking it mentions a reception. There is none, and nobody on site. It is literally a house in a residential road split into 4 apartments, one on each floor. Nobody told us that there is no maid service, so bedsheets were not changed during our 9 day stay. Our pillows had no cases on them. There is a trolley (which is covered up) in the hallway which thankfully had towels and sheets so we took pillowcases and clean towels during our stay. Don't know if we were supposed to as there was no signs anywhere to tell us if we could or not. Very poor sign posting. There was NOTHING indicating where the apartments were or if we were at the right place. It is opposite Igres Sao Bartolomeu and next door to a photography/art shop. I will attach a photo of the front of the property to help anyone trying to find it.
Great location
Liked: Good place in a great location. It doesn’t have air conditioning, but with the windows open it wasn’t too bad. Overall, we had a good stay.
Liked: It has a great location in the city center with a nice view of the red roofs of the houses in Coimbra. Parking is not possible on Coimbra's narrow streets, but you can leave your car for free in the Convent parking garage on the opposite side of the Mondego River.
Disliked: The equipment and furniture deserve better care. While everything is relatively new, some pieces (such as the chairs in the kitchen) are broken or malfunctioning. We would appreciate a better-equipped kitchen. We paid for five people, but we only found four beds. The internet was horrible and could ruin the whole stay.
Cozy, very centee located appartament
Liked: Very spacy and nice room, perfect location, clean, comfortable to stay. Close to public transport. Short walking distance to ancient town, easy to find around coffee and dinning places.
Disliked: Because it is very center, it is noisy from the neighbourhood resaurants.
A clean flat in the old town of the city
Liked: The flat was really clean and the location is as central as it gets. There is a basic kitchen for preparing simple meals. The stay was also rather inexpensive.
Disliked: We booked this flat for a business trip of ca. 10 days and for that we would have needed a fast internet connection. Contrary to what we read from the ratings, the connection was actually very slow and sometimes barely functioning! There is also no air conditioning (however, there are some fans available) and no washing machine in the flat. As we stayed for a relatively long time, we would have needed one. There were a few laundromats around town, within ca. 20-30 mins uphill walking time. I would suggest that placing a washing machine even downstairs in the communal area of the building would make life much easier for the guests. These things would probably not be a problem for a one or two nights stay though.
