"The staff, Ana and Joana were lovely. So kind, so helpful and made our stay very comfortable. The communication was good, when I messaged I received a reply almost instantly. The first code I was given for the property didn’t work, but it was easily sorted. The facilities in the kitchen were good, although not a sharp enough knife to cut our steak, but I also understand this may be because of safety. The bedroom was a comfortable quiet space and although you are in a busy area I was not disturbed by the noise, even though there was construction work going on in the building opposite. The kitchen/diner area was very airy and spacious. Travelling with a teenager, the free wifi was a bonus! The bathroom was adequate, the tap on the sink sticks out too much and you have to wash your face on the side. There also appeared to be a gap from the shower glass as the floor was filled with a puddle of water, but easily cleaned up. All the things we wanted to see were within walking distance. I felt safe in the apartment even though there isn’t a 24 hour front desk. I most certainly would recommend this apartment for those wanting to explore Braga. There are plenty of places to eat and lots of lovely little boutiques to shop."
