I strongly recommend this apartment to anyone who is planning to stay in Porto. I don't think it is possible to find a better value for the money.
The apartment is incredibly clean and tidy. In fact it was so clean, we were feeling like it was a brand new place. It was nice to discover awesome details like the shampoo and shower gel in small bottles (the ones like in expensive hotels), a sandwich grill and other cool things.
The apartment is located perfectly near to the city center on a small and nice street. There is even a very cheap shop in the house where the apartment is (in case you need to buy something for breakfast)
Carla is an incredible host! We had a splendid visit to Porto mostly thanks to her.
She told us all about the places to visit in Porto and showed it on a map. It took her about 30 minutes to tell us everything and by the time we went around the city we already knew well what we should and shouldn't visit.
Carla even left a cell phone by which we could contact her in case we needed something, so that we wouldn’t spend our money on mobile in roaming.
Here a small episode that characterizes how incredible Carla is as a host: When we were leaving the apartment I forgot my iPod and didn't even notice it until Carla emailed me when she found it. We worked out a way of getting it back to us. In fact Carla found the time to send it by post to her friend in the city that we were staying at the time. Her friend called us and we had met to get my iPod back! This seems almost unbelievable, but its true.
So, once again, I strongly recommend this apartment to anyone who is planning to visit Porto - you won't regret it, I promise!
