GuestReady - Ayres Gouvea House

A cool place to stay in a great spot, and it was clean.

Getting in touch with them was a whole ordeal. The low-lying houses smelled so damp it was hard to stay inside, there were no towels, and they came into the house without telling us while we were out. The apartments look nice but are very neglected. They seemed quite unprofessional, and I wouldn’t go back.

The location is good, about a 10-minute walk from the center and 15 minutes from Ponte de Luis 1. The apartment is attractive, spacious for four, and tidy. The bathroom is large, and the kitchen is fine, though there are very few plates and so on. The sofa bed was fine, but the apartment really deserves a better bed.

The kitchen is short on utensils, and the coffee maker is falling apart and leaking water. I stayed from the 12th to the 14th, on the second floor facing the street, and forgot to mention that on Booking.com. There’s a seagull nest on the roof, making it impossible to sleep, and the ambulances across the street are so loud you can’t hear them through the windows. The people replying to messages don’t answer unless it suits them.
