I honestly cannot speak more highly of this accommodation. As a lone traveller, it is important that I feel safe. I felt safety was paramount from the moment of check in.
Location wise, once I got my bearings, I truly believe this was the most ideal, perfect location. Everywhere you stay in Porto you will need to walk but I felt somewhat central at Carolina’s accommodation. I felt in the hub of Porto, mixed with the locals and tourist’s. I was worried when booking i’d have to get uber’s everywhere as I wasn’t sure where the apartment was located- but it’s so close to everything you would want to see and do in Porto!
I appreciated how clean the apartment was. Truly spotless. A glitch with the wifi but Carolina’s prompt response and support was faultless.
It is a basic apartment but it had everything I needed as someone who wouldn’t be in during day time. I noticed a sign for an umbrella but there wasn’t one- it would have been a great addition for the rainy stay (but I understand the intention for one is there!)
If you are looking at a longer stay, the kitchen area is basic and I could only access Netflix on TV but again, no bother as I wasn’t there for either of these things.
The only thing I would say (at no blame to the hosts) is that on one of the evenings it became noisy outside early hours (1am/2am) being in a good location you may have to for-fit this- it’s part and parcel of a more busy location.
I honestly loved my stay. If I return, I will stay here again. It did feel like home.
