For starters this property’s location is prime, within steps from the river front (Ribeira). Helder was really nice during the check in process. You will have to park on the street and feed the meter (about 1 euro an hour) or pay for a public parking garage. You can talk to the management of the parking garage directly across from the apartment to get a rate around $23 euros per day. The room I got was 1F facing the street with the balcony. Plenty of space to support 4 adults. You have a little kitchen as well. They give you a couple of complimentary shots of Port wine. Wi-Fi was pretty strong. I really liked the stone walls around the apartment. My negatives will be this; the hot water in the shower was hit or miss. Either really hot or really cold, there was no way to get it in-between for the duration of the shower. You had to keep trying to adjust it. There was one bulb burnt out in the kitchen. The balcony was covered in pigeon droppings. It can be a little noisy at night specially during the busy weekends so if you’re a light sleeper, which I’m not, that might be an issue. The soap bed was not working correctly, some piece might be broken on the slats. Also the mattress was stained. They charge a mandatory 2 euros per person per night, tourism tax. Can be paid via PayPal at the end of your stay. Overall, I would give this place another go when the time comes.
