Firstly, I would like to highlight that the host is really good and helpful. He checked in numerous times throughout the trip and is super easy going.
Please see below a summary
- Location:
- Great location across from the river. Lots of restaurants and wine cellars, and great views of Porto. The area is really nice in the afternoon/late afternoon - though it gets quiet in the night.
- Comfort of bed and pillows
- Pillows were quite plump
- Beds are ok but not hotel quality
- Layout
- Generally a nice space. It is on the first level (above ground).
- Windows only are at the front two bedrooms - inner rooms face a covered courtyard. Was told by owner that they recently put in a shelter to stop the rain, but it also meant there is no fresh air inside. So the inner two rooms were quite warm and stuffy during the day. Understand that this might be changed/removed later - so do ping the host to ask if this is an issue for you.
- No windows in the living room, if that is important to you.
- Toilets are nicely sized and easy to move around in
- Extra stuff:
- Cute hammock in the airwell
