"I think communication with the host was actually a chatbot. I was encouraged to ask about early check-in and when I did the response was always the same, "ask closer to check-in time". There was music that was clear and loud piped into the room. This surprised the "host" who asked me to check for a source. It wasn't the street music and the host was surprised that it would come form the restaurant. Said would support me but I don't know what that means because clearly they did nothing to find...

"This apartment in the medieval part of Coimbra is close to sights, shopping and cafes. We recommend the friendly cafe at the top of the street. The property is as lovely and well-appointed as in the listing. Just off the Old Cathedral square, although a narrow, cobbled street it is a bit of a thoroughfare. If you are not accustomed to city noise at night it may not be for you. There is also quite a bit of ambient light at night. There are shutters to block the light but they will block the night...

R3 Service Five Senses in Coimbra

10/10 Excellent
"Do not be fooled by the exterior! This is a hidden gem. Room was spotless, great instructions and staff friendly. Breakfast was minimal but more than enough to set you up. We travelled from the train station, walking so that was useful. The only minimal downside is limited staff hours, bur the reply to messages was great and even provided advice on where to go for a glass of wine. Can walk to the shops and centre within 15 minutes. We would absolutely stay here again. Note. The stairs are tight so maybe bot accessible for everyone!"
