Location was great, close to historic city centre. Host was very nice and helpfull. Apartament gives a sense of history, with old furnitures.,

The section’s narrow and steep streets were tricky to negotiate, and the GPS couldn’t figure out the exact location of the apartment so we had to take an extra lap to find it.

Great location halfway between shops, restaurants and the university

We visited in winter and couldn't use the sitting room because it was too cold. Also very cold in the bathroom, with walls and all surfaces wet from condensation despite the heater running non stop.

Wonderful responsive host and prime location. The apartment is interesting and historic. The veranda would be amazing in the warmer time of the year, but we didn't use it in December.

We had no issues at all.

The location was convenient, but we arrived via Bolt rideshare, so the driver dealt with the narrow streets. It is uphill from many of the sights you´ll walk to, but that seems true of most of Coimbra. Regardless, Coimbra is a lovely, vibrant town and this was an excellent apartment from which to explore it. I´ll definitely stay there again -- happily.

We were 2 adults in 2 bedroom apartment . 4 adults would be a squeeze, especially in bathroom. Double bed (not Queen) was firm and comfortable but creaky.

Location was great. Apartment was like out of 50s movie. Wonderful taps! Welcome was warm and wonderful.

Fantastic place in the city center, but also very quiet. The furniture looks amazing, like in the Pictures. Great terrace,where you can enjoy coffee or wine with a nice view to the city. The host was more than helpful! We can only recommend it!

We could park car very close to apartment. Very warm welcome from host on phone when I called to say we were going to be a little later than expected, which was a great relief after stressful day. Then meeting host in person was also lovely / warm friendly, explained everything we needed to know plus additional tourist advice. We loved the space and the homely facilities and welcoming touches. A very welcome change after lovely but compact hotels. Would have liked to stay a week! Loved Coimbra.

Location，Value to the Money.

The beds are very creaky and very hard. The slightest movement disturbs your partner.

Old fashioned interior very well suited. Very clean, good size rooms & facilities. Good location, not too high up and not too low between the new and old towns. Nice outside terrace with views when weather is nice.

The beds were hard. I slept okay, but 2 of our family members were uncomfortable. We received notice the day before departure that checkout must be by 10:30am, so 30 minutes earlier than the 11:00am time shown on Booking.com. But, they offered to let us keep our luggage there while they started the cleaning..

The owner, Pedro, was very welcoming to us & shared many suggestions for things to do during our brief stay in Coimbra. The apartment has a fantastic patio with a great view of the city and sunset. We spent evenings out there. And the location of the apartment is central to so much. It made it easy to walk to sightseeing, the river, restaurants, self-service laundry, etc.

the mattresses are very hard. was difficult to find a comfortable position to sleep. if they change the mattresses the place would be definitively a 10

the location was great, also the apartment is beautiful. Pedro and his wife are excellent hosts and his son Joao was always reachable for the check in. really loved the views of the terrace and that is located in the center!

Liked everything! Very large and comfortable apartment, antique furniture, a restaurant and a market nearby, all sights are accessible on foot in 5-10 minutes. The owner met me at the apartment and kindly provided all the information.

We liked everything about the apartment. Very spacious and comfortable. Excellent location, very friendly and helpful host.

like any old building, the windows are drafty and there is no central heating system. There are very effective modern digital air conditioning/heating units in both bedrooms and Pedro has 2 large roll-around heaters, but it takes a while to warm up such a large apartment and I found that I had to keep the thermostats set to 23c to stay comfortable at 20-21c. This was not a problem for me but someone coming from the US might not be used to room heaters rather than central heating.

This is a beautiful antique apartment in an ancient building, high up on one of the narrow streets of the original town, with a gorgeous view of the city from the terrace. Host Pedro tells me he is slowly remodeling the apartment into an exquisite jewel as a retirement hobby project, and he rents it out between work periods. The building is narrow, with a long hall & 2 bedrooms opening from it. The beds are new and extra firm - great for sore backs! The bathroom is beautiful, with gorgeous antique fixtures and an endless hot water supply. A roomy kitchen and a tiny living room complete the inside rooms, but a wonderful large private terrace awaits out the back door! The view is magnificent from this vantage point: 150 feet above a public gazebo with reflecting pools, it looks across the valley to the neighboring hill. There are several good restaurants just down the hill from the building - I had a very delicious dinner at Sete just below my apartment (a 75-meter walk to the lower road). A car is recommended for getting around, though parking in the narrow streets is 1st-come, 1st served. I lucked out and parked right next to the door every time!

Host was looking for us in the street so easier to find the place. Pedro was so helpful and warm in his demeanor towards us. we loved the history of the apartment and we were within walking distance to everything we had time for in Coimbra.

It was a nice place to stay, no complaints. Just remember to bring additional toiletries, coffee, etc. if staying a few days.

Location and the terrace had amazing views! Easy to check in with owner who gave some great tips on what to see and eat. You are in Coimbra so there are some steep hills to just about everything. The apartment was very clean and we really enjoyed our stay. A wonderful place to have a rest day on the Camino. Decorated in an antique fashion
