The apartment was well equipped and comfortable. It was very spacious. The view was worth it all and it was great to have the balcony to relax on. It is a little walk from sights but it is along the river so you take in the beauty of the area. I would Definitely stay here again.

The Good, The Bad and The UGLY
The location was fantastic. Great view, fantastic spot on the river. This unit does not have A/C which I didn't notice on the listing as it does only show heating. This was OK since the weather was not real hot but the front bedroom with the windows open you hear periodic loud motorcycles and cars in the middle of the night that were startling at the least. The back bedroom was worse. There are two small dogs that started barking at 5:30 AM just below this 2nd floor unit. Another time they were barking at 2:00 AM. The Primary Bedroom shower did not drain. We let the property manager know about this right away. There was water all in the entire bathroom almost to the wood in the hallway. It was about a 2 minute rush to before the entire bathroom was completely underwater. I'm not talking 15 minute shower. It took 2 days to get this (sort of) fixed and multiple reminders. The washing machine door would fall completely off when you opened it. The listing says washer / dryer. The dryer portion of the unit did not function. This was never fixed. We counted on having a washer and dryer and ended up having to have clothes washed at our next stop in Lisbon at a hotel. The kitchen sink would spray water on the window when you turned it on. This was never fixed. The primary bath toilet flush cover would fall off and also get stuck on. I never mentioned this since we could live with it and the other items were not getting addressed. would not stay in again!
Der Besitzer wusste Bescheid, dass es KEIN warmes Wasser gibt, da der Boiler defekt ist. Es wird so getan, als ob es repariert wird und dann wird nach der Hälfte der Zeit gesagt, dass es keine Möglichkeit gibt.
So auch von vorliegen Bewertungen ersichtlich!
Außerdem sind die Betten total durchgelegen, alles voller Hundehaare und die Waschmaschine funktioniert auch nicht.
Die Wohnung sollte gar nicht zur Vermietung angeboten werden, sondern erst mal renoviert werden!
