The apartment and the hosts were wonderful. The entire experience from start to end was smooth and enjoyable, and what I'd expect of a good hotel.

To start, there was good and proactive communication from Eugenia and Luis, with all questions answered quickly.
We were met by Eugenia, who was lovely and welcoming, very pleasant and spoke good English. She had a pre prepared map and an extensive list of recommendations for eating out , sightseeing and shopping (inc. food, local crafts, etc.), which we used and were extremely happy with. Eugenia told us about the local area and Porto's history which, once we were out and exploring, helped us navigate without a map and feel like we know the local secrets and good spots.

The building itself is beautiful, you can tell its well renovated and not just painted over, and the apartment was exactly as in the photos. Well provisioned with everything needed for breakfast and light cooking, including a bottle of Porto wine, tea, coffee, individual jam, butter and pates. Unexpectedly (but very very welcome) there was a daily delivery of fresh bread rolls, small croissants, and custard tarts.

The apartment was spacious and well furnished, with a good amount of space in the bedroom (three medium suitcases didn't crowd it up) and wardrobe/dressing area divided into two sides for two people to have own space with hangers. Everything was clean and without a speck of dust in less-used areas, the linens and towels clean and of good quality.
Although there was no washing machine in the apartment, Eugenia told us there's a laundry service if we need it.

As mentioned in other reviews, the apartment is on a main road, and open windows will mean a little street noise, but the level of soundproofing (and light blocking from the additional shutters) was very good - better that we prepared for.

At the end, the check out was simple too, and when leaving I felt like the entire stay was what saying at ones own holiday home would be like - hassle free.

When coming back to Porto, I would definitely come back to this apartment.

Thank you Eugenia and Luis.
