Amazing Apartment at Cais do Sodré

Close to transit and the store. Firm bed. Clothes washer in the apt.

Fan didn't work, no ac.

Very good location and a pleasant accommodation for a stay of a few days. I would definitely recommend this accommodation for solo travelers, couples, or friends. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The kitchen was also clean and equipped with everything you might need for a short stay. In terms of hygiene, both the room and the shared kitchen were in very good condition. Overall, I had a positive experience and would gladly recommend this accommodation. I enjoyed my stay there. I was not disturbed by the neighbors at all. There was some noise from the street, but that is simply one of the downsides of staying in the city center and is not something the accommodation can control. The location is a major advantage. It is about an 8-minute walk to the metro, train station, ferry terminal, tram, and bus stops. From Cais do Sodré, you can easily reach any part of the city. The accommodation is also easy to get to from the airport by metro. In summary: great value for money, an excellent location, and a very enjoyable stay.

Bathroom and toilet facilities:** these could use some renovation and improvement. The bathrooms are quite small, and there are only two toilets and two showers shared between seven rooms. Personally, this was not a major issue for me. I never had to wait to use the bathroom or shower. However, the overall cleanliness of the bathrooms could be better. There was no mop available to clean up water from the floor, and the showers are rather small, more like shower cabins. You are provided with your own roll of toilet paper, but once it runs out, you need to buy your own. Towels are provided upon arrival (one small and one large towel), which is a nice touch. Another positive aspect is that there is a washing machine available, so you can easily wash your towels or clothes if needed during your stay.

Podría mejorar la ventilación con ductos de ventilación forzada. Nosotros lo resolvimos con el ventilador

I can say that I enjoyed my stay in this amazing apartment at Cais do Sodré and I was relatively satisfied with my room. I appreciated the fact that my privacy was strictly and firmly respected by everyone. The spring mattress was ok ; there was a cute decorating plant in my bedroom Because of cold I had to ask for a second blanket, I was quickly delivered and the matter was solved. Inside my room, the fan fixed the lack of ventilation issue This room (with its quite fair price) suits perfectly a stay 2-3 weeks because this big apartment (7 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 spacious kitchen and 1 dining space) is well equipped with nice amenities : fridge, dishwasher, laundry machine, iron and iron board, different kitchen appliances and enough dishes, kitchenware and tableware. The access to both building and apartment is safe and secure. The location is very interesting and close to all kind of transportation (tramway, metro, train and ferry ; with the exception of central bus station that is as far as airport), there are plenty of restaurants, cafés, bars and different grocery stores around there ; some sightseeing spots are close to this area or very easily reachable. The area is very safe. The only and tiny disadvantage in this vibrant district is the party sounds I could hear during the night. The customer service is wonderful, fast and reactive each time I needed them : when reached out, they solved any issue. Their check-in and check-out timetables are correct. Near check in time they contacted me with a nice message and before check out they set a nice reminder.

The room was cold during the night The towels were provided with no replacement and no rack to dry them. My key room was sometimes challenging to open the door mainly because of the lock but it wasn’t always a big deal. The apartment is uninsulated (both noise and cold) A coffee machine would be very welcome. The fridge would really benefit from being cleansed, tidied up and the space inside it would also benefit from being fairly shared between the different rooms even for short stays. There’s also a lack of space in the shared areas to store some of bulky items which is too bad. The absolute lack of a mechanical ventilation is the main default of this apartment. I felt the consequences mainly in the damp rooms (after somebody’s shower or cooking a meal). Therefore, there is a damp, stuffy smell in the shared spaces. A big issue to fix is cleanliness : there is rarely a cleansing service for shared areas (not at all for rooms), when I was there, it was only done during a guest checkout (quite random). Unfortunately, (some of) the guests are the first ones to quickly stain the kitchen (even after a very perfect cleansing service carried out by the cleaning team) without cleansing or at least removing the dishes and wiping the table or work surface. The dirt accumulates and I couldn’t find any available and immediately usable kitchenware or dishes. The kitchen ends up quickly dirty in less than 24 hours which is really too bad ! Beside that, the cleansing products aren’t provided or not enough mainly in the bathroom (like soap or toilet paper). There are two tight bathrooms, complicated to ventilate even by opening wide the door, it gets quickly invaded by shower steam, and also for this space, the cleanness can be improved. The apartment is on the second floor and to get there, it's through very challenging straight stairs : carrying up luggage is complicated. During my stay, there were works, the floor was dusty. But that wasn’t the case of the apartment.
