Good parts:
- We were allowed to leave late which was very helpful because our next apartment check-in time was only at 16
- Very central location close to everything in center of Porto
- At the same time this apartment is located inside a nicely isolated area with small but very nice patio space which is shared between several houses
- A lot of cats in that patio space =)
- Kitchen area is nice and some furniture we did enjoy
What was not that great
- When we came we’ve noticed some signs of dirt on the carpet; because we have a little daughter who likes to spend a lot of time on the floor we’ve asked to clean it and had to be very insistent about that which was somehow frustrating (we never seen the carpet again and had to replace it with a smaller one from top floor)
- Once removed - a lot of dirt was found below the carpet which I am sure will be delegated to cleaning service
- On our third day we have discovered that dishwasher was not working properly - program stopped in the middle with water collected at the bottom of machine - I am mostly sure this was like this before us coming; unfortunately it was not fixed during our next 7 days of stay)
- There is no way to hang towels in bathrooms :( no single hook on the wall in there
- No sound insulation between last floor and living room - it is very noisy when someone is just walking; not sure how noisy it is for those who stay on the ground floor but hope it has some insulation
- Beds creak and are not comfortable: we had back pain both of us - me and my wife
- Also - there are only single beds while on one of the photos it looks like a double bed - it is not but you have to pay attention to understand that
- Coffee machine is pretty old and needs some maintenance - to insert the capsule you have to remove the basket with waste and align mechanism inside (with finger) that pushes capsule into the right slot before making coffee
- Communication response time varies; no response at all during weekends - be prepared
- Maybe this happened because we had some open cookies on the shelf but we’ve got attacked by ants and there were a lot of them. Probably this is just Nature but it may happen
I hope this feedback helps and things get better.
