The apartment was lovely and roomy. It was centrally located, walking distance to restaurants, University, the river.

This is a wonderful apartment that is central to the university and sights of the central district. It is quiet and comfortable. Check in was a breeze and communication with the owners was prompt and helpful. It is a great apartment for two couples traveling together. I would stay here again.

Nice setup for two couples traveling together. Great location.

Pros: very comfortable, extremely clean apartment with modern bathrooms (wonderful water pressure and hot water in the showers!), modest kitchen (enough to make breakfast easily, but you probably wouldn’t want to cook much more there), wonderful communication with managers; they were so helpful with finding things (we could not find the iron, for example—it is in the front bedroom closet which we thought was locked, just didn’t pull on the door hard enough). Rita was so kind, and came over to check on the iron and found it. There is also a washer and a microwave! Cons: The only negative is if you are a light sleeper and wish to turn in early, there is a tavern right below the apartment in the square with live music on weekends until 10:30 and then it stays open until 1 a.m. on weekends with loud music from a boombox and even louder tavern goers. But in fairness we were there on a weekend when students from the University party all week as they return to school (we had no idea about this tradition!) so it was probably noisier than normal. The restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays so those would be much quieter days, I’m guessing. Just an FYI in case you actually want to turn in a little bit earlier!

If you are heading to Coimbra for the first time, this is an excellent choice for your stay. It is just off one of the main walkways in central Coimbra overlooking one of the original gates to the old city. The apartment is perfect for breakfast and lunch preparation. It is a short 10 minute walk to a grocery store and very close to one of the main tourist attractions, the University of Coimbra. There are many restaurants in the area, as well as coffee and pastry shops. The rental company was very helpful and communication was easy and quick. Because this rental is in a central area, guests must be prepared to walk uphill and up stairs (we were on the third floor) with luggage. But if you are coming to Coimbra, everywhere you go will likely include up hill walking. The windows on the apartment are very good so there was no noise in the evening with them closed and each room has air conditioning. We enjoyed our stay here very much and will recommend Atlantic Rentals to others for any travel to Coimbra.

Only downside of this great VRBO is that parking is not close and you have to haul your luggage quite a ways plus up three flights of stairs. However the location is excellent being in the centre of everything!

Really nice place centered in town. Very pleased.

We loved this flat! It was gorgeous and we wish we had stayed longer. Communication with the host was awesome. Highly recommend!
