Good Memories Lodge

The apartment was clean and spacious. The space is ideal for a couple or small family. The furniture is a mix of beautiful modern antiques and Ikea. There was no breakfast, but you can order breakast from an independent company that delivers to the apartment (with payment). There was a small pack of biscuits, which were fantastic. There are also lot of cafes close by. The area is quiet. Each night, there was some loud music in the distance, but this ceased at 23.00.

The kitchen could have had more supplies. It took me a while to find soap to wash the dishes, and I was not sure if this was soap for hand or soap for dishes (maybe there is no difference). There were only two dishwasher tablets. Two coffee pods were included in the kitchen for the coffee machine. I stayed 4 nights (over 150€ a night). In most hotels of this price point, it is now standard to have a Nespresso machine in the room, and 2-3 pods each night of the stay. Overall, all of the usable facilities (soap, shampoo, toilet paper, tissues etc.) could of been of a higher quality to match the norm expected in a hotel of a similar price per night. The communication for entry to the apartment was very late (an hour or so before my flight). The communication could be a little earlier, particularly for people arriving late (I arrived close to midnight). Normally, this would not be an issue for people arriving during the day.

Great location! Lovely staff. Lovely accommodations

Nothing. It was perfect!

A nice property in a very central location. Everything is reachable by foot, which is very convenient.

The big disadvantage is that there is no parking place. It was almost impossible to find a spot on the street. The recommended parking area in Santa Luzia was not much better, as most spots were reserved.

Easy check in. All coded entry.

We did see a cockroach in the room part way through our stay and a dead one on our last day. Conscious it was the ground floor room so we ensured the doors were kept closed after that. Not sure if this is to be expected for the country.
