We mostly loved the place, it’s a nice location in that it’s just above the old town no more than 6 minutes walk. It was clean, beds were good and blackout shades kept it cool as there is no AC. Could be an issue on very warm days. Outside back patio could use a cleaning by the owners, pigeons have roosted above the unit making it a bit messy out there. There are around 50-55 steps up to the unit from old town so be prepared for that. Also, unit is on the 1st floor up one flight of stairs so be aware of that.
Joel was a great host, he also has an excellent name. Would overall very much recommend staying here if you need multiple bedrooms on your visit to Coimbra.
