Great apartment in a great location in a great city!
The apartment has all that’s needed to make a stay pleasant and comfortable. Not only the availability of a washer/dryer and ironing equipment, but also basic cleaning aids and condiments for cooking. Noticeable was the excellent housekeeping and cleanliness of the apartment. AC was very needed (and sufficient) since we had lovely and very warm weather in our days in Porto.
Location is spot-on. Close to all shopping areas in the upper town, and only a short walk down to the river and to the Dom Luís bridge. Not to forget are the countless cafes and restaurants throughout all of Porto. Also, supermarkets very close by and grocery prices in Portugal are extremely low, compared to the US prices.
Best part of our stay was our host, Rodrigo. Since we had an early arrival in Porto, he arranged a speedy cleanup of the apartment for us to check in prior to the normal check in time. We also met his lovely daughter, Luisa, who welcomed us upon arrival on his behalf. Excellent communication in preparation to our visit and throughout our stay. He helped us also arranging airport transport in the very early Sunday morning (our flight left Porto by 5:00am) We felt always comfortable communicating with him in all matters.
Only one minor draw back to mention…
Being in the university area we realized that students are very lively in expressing themself with celebrating in the summer nights at the park, which was very noisy in times. But this might be very well normal in all of Porto. Although the windows in the apartment are extremely good, the noise level is impossible to avoid. If you are a light sleeper, we recommend you bring a good pair of ear plugs if you are visiting Porto
All was great and we can highly recommend Rodrigo’s place.
