If you like a rustic style where maintenance is lacking, this might be the place for you. The first impression with a loose door handle immediately gave the impression of poor maintenance, and this matches well with the rest that greets you when you enter. The walls should have been painted; there are many stains, especially in the living room, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. In the bedroom, masking tape hangs down from the ceiling lamp, but it hasn't been painted in a long time; the tape is yellowed and old, which looks ugly. The kitchen has an unevenness with a loose cover over a hole in the floor, covered by a carpet, but be careful not to hurt your foot and trip or slip. The bathroom lacks maintenance; the shelf by the sink is loose, and the lighting is very dim.
From the living room, there was a fantastic view of the river, and the location for tourist activities couldn't be better, but the glass door to the river is mechanically worn and needs maintenance as it is very hard to open. At night, you will be disturbed by a lot of noise from the boats idling at relatively high revs. This noise continued all night, making it impossible to sleep. One of our nights, we moved to The Editory House Ribeira Porto Hotel, a few blocks away. Here we could sleep without noise; we would probably have chosen this for the entire stay, as even the view cannot compensate for the inconvenience of the noise at night.
