From the very beginning ,before even meeting, Sara was great at communicating. She always responded to my messages on a timely manner. She made sure my friends we were meeting for the weekend were able to stay at a nearby apartment, and she made sure we got to closest train station to the apartment from Porto. Throughout our stay, Sara was just a message away from offering help or advice.
Details matter, Sara's apartment had charm, as well as items and things we welcomed on vacation. For example, she had a water filter pitcher in the kitchen so we wouldn't have to keep purchasing water day to day. The washer, and the heating towel rack were nice surprises since Lisbon was on the tail end of our trip to Portugal. I appreciated the vintage decorative items that gave the apartment charm, and style. I also appreciated the extra room in the back to give my friend and I some space of our own while traveling.
The apartment was at a great, central location. Everywhere we wanted to go to was either a short walk, or public transportation away. I would not hesitate to stay here again!
One tip: if you plan to book an Uber for an early flight, make sure you take that short walk down to a main street. Our 1st Uber cancelled on us early in the morning til I figured out we better get down to main street. GPS is terrible on reading old, windy alleyways and streets( we had this problem in Sicily in an old castle town in the past as well) and the driver probably gave up!
