PROS:
Location is perfect for walking into Porto over the pedestrian bridge or go shopping at the large El Corte Ingles mall.
Pretty space and lots of room to cook to include dishes and nice array of pots and pans.
Beds are comfortable.
Pretty clean. During our stay the apartment was very clean but the patios not so much. It was winter when we stayed, but they should still be attended to.
Great communication with host.
CONS:
No Soap, no Shampoo, no napkins, no paper towels, no sugar or milk for coffee. Bring your own if you feel you will need these items.
Super scratchy towels and we think this is because most Portuguese do not use a clothes dryer to dry their linens, however these towels were excessively scratchy. You might consider bringing your own.
Neighbors smoke cigarettes in the enclosed staircase area. If you are not a smoker (like us) it is awful to walk through when going up and down the stairs.
