Incredible views and great location. The water pressure was terrible. Water would literally stop flowing during showers multiple times. Regardless worth it for the incredible balcony overlooking the river.

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.
