Positives:
-Ana's unit was in a walkable location to most things in the city. It's located on top of a hill, but pretty close to the metro, so if walking isn't an option, you can still get around.
-Great check in with Ana's friend Ricardo. He gave great recommendations for around the city, many of which we ended up doing.
-Communication was good and timely. Ana was very responsive and friendly.
-Strong wifi
Negatives:
-Although the apartment seems to be in a quiet residential neighborhood, it actually is the opposite . The neighbors are loud. The park in front of the unit is a hang out spot, especially on the weekends. Students were there being really loud until about 2:30 am. There is a club near by that plays music until about 4 am every night. Maybe this all wouldn't be an issue if the windows are closed, but being that we were visiting in June and there is no AC, we had to have the windows open to stay cool.
-At first the apartment looks exactly like the pictures, but once you start living there you realize the pictures make things look more comfortable then they actually are. The "couch" is plywood with small cushions on it. Not very comfortable to actually spend time on. The bathroom although white and modern looking is extremely tight. The bedrooms are pretty spacious, but the beds are really squeaky.
Overall the apartment served our purpose while staying in Porto. However if I were to go back, I would try to find a more comfortable, quiet place to stay.
