Casa do Terraço w/ Terrace - Sé Apartamentos

Very central apartment, clean and quirky. Great terrace. Kitchen has low ceiling so you need to be careful as you may not be able to stand straight in places. Bed very comfortable. Kitchen cabinet tricky to open, hinge needs to be looked at. All in all a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The property has two bedrooms, although there is noc door inbetween. The matrass in the main bedroomis excellent. The kitchen is well-equipped. In the lounge we missed a table in front of the sofa. The veranda was wonderful, but in summer one might need an umbrella against the sun. The bathroom was small and lacked some facilities to hang up or put down towels etc.

Let me start by saying we enjoyed our stay in the Casa do Terraco apartment. The location was great with great access to the city center. One thing the description of the apartment did not include was the very low ceiling in the kitchen. I'm 180 cm tall and had to bend over every time I tried to work in the kitchen - and I cooked meals several times. The apartment included instructions for all of the small appliances (coffee maker, kettle, iron, etc.) but not for the oven or the clothes washer - these two being very different in operation from equipment we are used to in the United States. Finally, some of the instructions in the booklet in the apartment did not agree with the final instructions sent by email regarding checking out. Make sure you check you email before checking out for the correct checkout instructions. Knowing these little quirks, we would not hesitate to rent from Se Apartamentos properties again - we would just check on the ceiling heights throughout the apartment.

Toilet too close to the sink, difficult to sit on. Broken furniture on the terrace. It says first floor but that is to the apartment door there is then another set of steps. Poorly maintained on the terrace. Only one wine glass.
