Nice central location, beautiful apartment, comfy bed, easy to check in and out

Nela United Kingdom

What a gem of a place! Right in the middle of the historic district, truly a great location. The room was a great size with windows on 2 sides of the walls, facing the street. Cozy bed, great working heat/AC, the shower was incredible (rain shower head and the temperature/pressure was perfect). We loved exploring Braga!

Hannah United States

spacious, charming bedroom with kitchenette. No reception but staff is quick to respond from remote

Alessandra Italy

It's a nice appartment in a perfect location in the city center. You can easily get the keys and the bed is comfortable. It's clean and it has a nice view from the balcony.

Rado13 Poland

The room was very pretty, clean and comfortable. Street carparking spot was very easy to find.

Rossella United Kingdom

The apartment is beautiful and had everything I needed. It is a relatively short, slightly uphill walk from the station and is right on the edge of the old town, so close to cafes, restaurants and bars.

Patricia Australia

Keyless entry made our check in and out very easy. We arrived in Braga at 6pm on the train so just being able to walk up and punch in codes made it extremely easy. You can ask that someone meet you but that isnt necessary. Location was amazing as its right along a walking street with a number of different restaurants.

Alex Canada

Stunning apartment. Very well equipped, extremely spacious and in a superb location in the centre of the historic zone. Excellent communication from Ana, the owner.

Stephen United Kingdom

Excellent city centre location. Very clean and modern apartment. Host replied to messages quickly.

Rebecca United Kingdom
