House of Blue Door - Bairro da Beira Mar

overall nice stay in Aveiro

The apartment is smaller than we thought but we did not spend much time in it. The apartments was clean and we did use the washing machine once which worked. We did not use the outside patio as the weather did not permit, there were some strong winds during the week. Some of the neighbors clothing blew on the patio, not sure which neighbor. We would recommend Yeah Aveiro, a local restaurant with great pizza. Boteco Aveiro, and Pizzaria do Nosso Bairro are also very good restaurant. The apartment is walkable to every section of the historic town and canals. We recommend taking a ride on the Moliceiros boats to see the city from the canals. Stop by and visit Capela De sao Bartolomeu chapel at the end of the street and read the story of the chapel. Felipe promply answered our questions. It was a good experience the apartment is good for a couple but would be crowded with more than 2 people.

Tres bon appartement pour 2 personnes

Overall was good, but communication during our stay was minimal and too late. Baking pans were round instead of flat. Kitchen wasGood equiped.

This was our first experience with Vrbo. Our impressions from the ad was a location in view of the canal and a full laundry. What we got was a place on a narrow street and a washer but no dryer. Mostly this is a communication issue and our unfamiliarity with typical units in Europe. 1. We didn’t have instructions for the washer and everything is in Portuguese so it took YouTube and Google translate to figure it out 2. We found the drying rack which we set upon the living room but we didn’t know how to operate the HVAC unit to help get the clothing dry. 3. Appliances in the kitchen like the hot water kettle didn’t work 4. The bed and couch had an odor that was unpleasant, maybe the disinfectant used by the cleaning crew If this is intended for English speakers then an English handbook would help.
