Epic Days Guest House

Hicimos una reserva en este alojamiento mientras hacíamos cicloturismo por Portugal y el anfitrión de este alojamiento nos engañó pues nos dijo que había sitio para guardar nuestras bicicletas y cuando llegamos comprobamos que malamente cabía una persona con una maleta por la puerta, cuando contactamos con la propiedad en lugar de ayudarnos o darnos una solución nos dieron la espalda y nos quedamos en la calle tirados y con un niño pequeño así que no recomiendo a nadie quedarse aquí

26-28/6/22 - Ground floor corner We three middle-aged guys from London were touring Portugal North to South by Public Transport. We booked this apartment as one of the cheaper ones, knowing it was in the university district a long way up the hill! Sure enough it was up the hill, a bit tricky to find and once found an elaborate process to get the key from a coded box in another (coded entry) adjacent door. Once into the corner ground floor apartment we found a cosy, space with a double bed taking up most of the triangular corner. A bunk bed by one wall was easy to access. Windows were difficult to keep open to get a draught but we wedged a glass in. The access to the double bed was difficult and the pillow would gave dropped behind easily so I physically moved it square on to the back wall. The kitchen was tight and reasonably equipped, a small dining table squeezed between with only space for two chairs. The rug on the floor snagged with the fridge door's opening so I removed it completely. Other reviewers have commented on the IKEA fittings and space saving accessories - true! The shower-room was modern and fine. At night it was quiet. One day we washed some clothes but there was nowhere to hang them so I made up an elaborate strings and bungees. There is a very lively student bar just round the corner which served us well for the night it was open! Acceptable wine at €1 a plastic glass. The images on the TA site are of the upper rooms as ours was a lot tighter! One did feel a bit exposed to passers-by if our windows were open. Overall though a perfectly good economical place to stay for two, three at a pinch but four at a real squeeze! Once in I had to help other new arrivals to get them into their flats with a few phone calls. Upper apartments have more space. Ground floor is cramped for three, a real squeeze for four. Good value though up that steep hill!
