7.6Verified guest“During renovations I was upgraded to a well-located apartment for free. The manager carried my luggage to the new spot. The room was cleaned daily, had high ceilings, Portuguese art, and old furniture that fit nicely. The neighborhood was lovely, and the view from the room was great.”

Our room had a large window with a nice view, and although there was no air-conditioning, a small fan kept us cool. The staff were friendly and helpful. Minor cleanliness issues were sorted quickly when we mentioned them. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.”
