Location is great. Short walk to many good shops, restaurants etc. Apartment is large and was great for two couples. Very clean and comfortable. Elevator is a bonus. Being on the top floor the river view is awesome. A larger coffee maker would have been appreciated but not really an issue. We enjoyed our stay.

The host was wonderful. He was very responsive to all of my questions. We did have water pressure issues during our stay, but he responding to the issue immediately. While the issue was not resolved during our time there, I know they were trying to fix it. The apartment is in a great location. There could be more available in terms of kitchen needs. It would’ve nice to have more paper towels, etc. The upstairs master has a great view but there is not actual door to that room. However, the stairs only lead to it. There is not much cabinet storage in the master. Overall, we had a good stay and enjoyed the location!

There were great views from both sides of the apartment. Water pressure on the top level was non existent so we used the bathroom downstairs which was not a big inconvenience.

What a great place. Two separate en suites; one up and one down. Very spacious common areas with a nice sized kitchen. Spectacular view of the river and the bridge from the upstairs bedroom; lovely view of the Palace and green space from the main floor rooms. Just a block from the water and convenient to the Ribeira. Highly recommend. Very modern and updatd. Given the stairs (both from the entrance to the elevator and up to the second bedroom) would not recommend for small children or folks with mobility issues.

Marc was very responsive with details on how to check in. The place was clean, spacious and close to the river and restaurants. The only slight misrepresentation is that there is not a futo. It’s a large sofa but it still worked for sleeping.

The location is perfect. Beautiful view! The check process was ok.Would have been nice to have more than one coffee pod when we arrived in the afternoon and at least some dishwasher tablets. This is minor but would be handy and a special touch. Overall a good stay. Can recommend.
