The apartment has a very central location, it is nicely furnished and as per the pictures. The shower is very good and the bed comfortable.
What for me is a big minus and a reason not to recommend the place is that it’s run by a company (Porto Concierge) and not ‘real’ local hosts, thus kind of defying the idea of Airbnb (meeting real people and to a certain extent help locals with the money that are brought by tourists). This company seems to have renovated the full building for renting the apartments on Airbnb and with this contribute to rising the rent prices in cities and making life of locals harder and more expensive.
As well because the place is run by a company, the interaction is a very ‘professional’ one, not at all a personal one. Here are a couple of details: I had asked for recommendations for parking close to the place, we arrived at night time and in one of the places there were aggressive men who seemed to be on drugs directing cars were to park, so we parked in a private parking close bye, that was however very expensive. When I asked the second day for more recommendations, I was told it’s best to park where we had already, no mention of costs though. As the costs were 29 eur/ 24 h, we looked for ourselves (now with more time on our hands) and parked in a street parking not so far away, for far less money. All in all the communication on the topic had not been a pleasant one and I never felt that the person from Porto Concierge actually wanted to help me out. Last but not least there was no hand soap in the bath (or kitchen), we were provided with 2 really small bottles of shower gel that should be used for all purposes (2 people, 2 nights’ stay). When I asked I was told that they will provide kitchen dish soap, but no hand soap as it’s not in line with health regulations (however in all other places throughout the place there has always been hand soap, washing hands being one of the main hygiene actions to take at all times).
So all in all, my experience was not so good, I’m sorry I had booked with Porto Concierge and despite the nice apartment, will certainly not do it again.
