Riacentrum - Smart Residence

My wife and I had the opportunity to stay here for a couple of nights in August. It’s the nicest property of any of the Air BnBs or hotels we’ve stayed in while visiting Portugal. The hosts , Claudia & Pedro, are fantastic ! Super interested in helping their customers w/ suggestions, translations etc. Their units are very very clean, incredibly well managed, a good size and perfectly located in the downtown core of Aveiro (yet super quiet despite its location). I will save this residence for any potential future stays in Aveiro. Consider staying here prior to anywhere else and you won’t be disappointed. A 5 star ⭐️ property on all fronts !

My son and I had two rooms here for a weekend visit from Lisbon. The most immediate response on walking in was how clean it is. Like eat-off-the-floor clean. The second response is that it is comfortable and nicely laid out with decent light from the one window/door. Bed is comfortable, water gets hot in the shower reasonably quickly, the kitchen is well-equipped with a full size refrigerator. Very unusual was that there were enough capsules for the coffee machine for a hard core coffee addict like me. The interior public areas are also clean and the location is excellent. Pedro is a terrific host. He was very helpful and even walked us to a local restaurant that was tourist-free and had the local eels, which we were looking for. He also told us how to find the best oves moles, and they were. Very responsive to phone and text. Just a couple minor criticisms - the electronic locking system gave us a few issues, one because I had booked two rooms together and the app doesn't recognize that, the other because one of the locks had its battery die and Pedro had to come down to open it. The other is that I like to sleep with the windows wide open unless it's hot and the street can be noisy until quite late. Closing the window/door fixed that, and I may be unusual in always sleeping with the windows open. Aveiro is a terrific town (small city?) and I doubt you can find a better place to stay here.

I want to let you know that I had the most enjoyable stay with you. Excellent room. Excellent location. Best Shower in Europe. And, your suggestions helped me, too. All my best regards. I hope to return.
