I Loft Santiago by Upper Luxury Housing

De rustige ligging, de prachtige ruimte, de keuken die goed ingericht was. En de apps met info over sleutel en inchecken etc.

Tranquilo, con los implementos necesarios para tener una estancia relajada

nice modern and clean with all the facilities needed including air con, parking and coffee machine.

we only scored and 8 out of 10 as the bathroom and loo were at the furthest possible form the bed. We both use the loo at night and had to go from far end upstairs down to furthest end downstairs. not ideal ! there is an empty room right by the bed, which would be a perfect spot for a loo upstairs. a good 25 min walk into Santiago uphill and parking 3 floors down in the basement.

The actual apartment itself is incredible. The bed was comfortable and the view was very nice. The building itself was quiet and nice inside.

The overall experience was not great because of the difficulty accessing the apartment and the fact that the air conditioning did not work. I had stayed in many units along the Camino that had electronic access without a problem and this one was nearly impossible. I had to contact them and when they talked me through it I realized the instructions they gave me to enter the building were missing a key piece of information which was a checkmark at the end of the numbers. I would never have been able to get in with the information they gave me. I was lucky that someone was available to talk to me. Also, when I contacted them to let them know the air conditioning wasn't working the person tried to tell me that I rented a unit without air conditioning. I went back to the booking.com itinerary and it said it had air conditioning. They were not able to get it fixed so they moved me to another unit and the air conditioning did not work in that unit either. The location while is on the Camino but it is on the way to the Cathedral if you are working the central route from Porto. I essentially had to backtrack from the Camino after finishing at the Cathedral - so not ideal. Additionally, I had difficulty getting an Uber or Taxi. The Taxi driver could not find the apartment with the address and the GPS coordinates. I ended up giving them the Mercado name and address and that seemed to work.
