General Overview

Our home is a three bedroom and two bathroom apartment on the first floor of a quiet three story building. It has recently been fully renovated with modern finishes and air conditioning in all the bedrooms and living room. The bedrooms face East, while the living room and kitchen face West, providing a beautiful view towards the river and great natural light throughout the home. It's not quite river front, but it's close :) There's plenty of street parking in front of the building and we also have a garage.

The Space

The master bedroom with suite has a comfortable 160x200cm bed. The second bedroom has a trundle bed that rolls out into a 160x200cm bed, or can be kept rolled in as a 80x200cm bed. This bedroom also has a sit/stand desk with 28" monitor, keyboard, mouse, and ethernet connection for remote work. The third bedroom has a 90x200cm bed and toddler closet. Both bathrooms have rainfall showers and handheld shower heads. The apartment is setup for remote work with high-speed fiber internet (500mbps). All the windows are thick aluminum double pane glass that block out noise well when closed and can be tilted open to let in a breeze. The bedrooms have acoustic insulation in the ceilings and neighboring walls to ensure restful sleep. While we moved in here recently (March 2024), the apartment is well stocked for a family. All the cookware you'd want to whip up meals, comfortable bedding, dining table for 6, and toys for young (2-4 year old) kids. Most of the furniture, like beds and mattresses, were bought new in January 2024.

Guest Access

The apartment is on the first floor. There is no elevator in the building.

Notes

We don't own a television at the moment. We don't wear outside shoes in the apartment. https://centerofportugal.com/ Things to do in the area: 1. Coimbra old town - Coimbra University tour, Machado museum, Pedro and Inês bridge, Santa Cruz church, Fado music, kayak trip on the river 2. Roman history - Conimbriga 3. River beaches - Rebolim, Zorro, and countless others 4. Choupal national forest 5. Xisto villages - Talasnal 6. Beach 50 mins away - my personal favorites are Costa de Lavos and Quiaios 7. I can give you an excellent list of all the traditional Portuguese food and pastel de nata your heart desires plus some fun Coimbra gems like world class gelato and surprisingly great Korean food.

We are Fate, Mohit, and Sahil. Sahil recently joined the party. We grew up in the US and in 2022 decided to make a move to Portugal! In between, we've tried to explore the world as much as we could from visiting Sikkim, India to scuba diving in the Azores. We'd love to keep exploring with our son. Mohit is a technology professional with a passion for DIY projects, tennis, all things outdoors, and the reddit funny page. Fate is a former technology professional who is obsessed with anything related to food, enjoys books, hiking, and the reddit travel page. Sahil loves his green car, ice cream, and bicycle rides. Let's chat!
