This was our favorite apartment of our three-city trip. It was very spacious - our young-adult children enjoyed having their own separate bedrooms. The downtown of Coimbra is very small, and this apartment is right in the middle of it. The restaurants and cafes are literally right outside the door, yet it was quiet in the apartment. There is no elevator, so you do have to walk up the stairs with your suitcase. It wasn't a problem for us, but people should know that. The check-in at the hotel (close to the train station) was very easy, and they stored our suitcases for us after we checked out. We would recommend this place.
