Casas do Arco

Location was excellent and the flat spacious and clean. Great restaurant below.

Very hard to find the apartment due to inadequate instructions. Would have been lovely to meet our host instead of being given a PIN code for the door. Old fashioned dreary furniture and two flights of stairs with no lift! Very small kitchen.

A perfect location in Coimbra! The apartment is spacious and very well appointed. It has everything you could want.

The location, the cleanliness, the hosts special treats they left for us and the space in the 2 bedroom apartment.

It’s not the hosts fault but that there wasn’t an elevator (travelling with my mother in law and we were on the 3rd floor); but we made do!!!

This is a large apartment, well-appointed, and in excellent condition. Lots of room, comfortable bed and furniture, complete kitchen, nice bathroom. It is located in the heart of the old section of the city within easy walking distance of the university, cathedral and other sites. Many great restaurants nearby.

This is advertised as a “hotel.” False! Hotels have staff. This is essentially an Airbnb. Let yourself in with door codes. Call the owner with questions or issues. It’s located in a pedestrian zone. We were provided info on parking options outside this zone, with “easy walking access.” Actually, the walk from the lot was an arduous uphill climb on narrow, cobbled streets. It would have been an exhausting trip towing our carry-on sized luggage. We took a taxi to get close. The driver had great difficulty finding a nearby drop off location. He had to ask for help twice. We were now a 5-minute walk from the building. We had to ask multiple times for help finding this “very discreet” location. Store owners within a few hundred yards had no idea where this place is. There’s a 10” x 5” sign next to the door. It was a stressful and frustrating experience finding this place. The listed wi-fi info was incorrect. After multiple attempts, the owner answered her phone. I ended up in a combative phone conversation in which the owner would not let me get a word in edgewise. The owner seems to have a massive chip on her shoulder when dealing with guests. Very unpleasant start to our stay. I would recommend she provide an address nearby for taxi drivers.
