The place is just wonderful. I very much hope that I can come back again and if I hadn't had to leave, I would have loved to extend my stay. Check-in was very easy and thanks to code access there are never any key problems. The apartment is kept in a beautiful artistic style with many lovely details. I stayed here for over four weeks and was thrilled. The apartment is clean, cozy and you can relax in the garden with three lovely cats. The location is perfect, it's just a few minutes to the metro and bus, and just around the corner is a cute small café, supermarkets and one of the best pizzerias. The Airbnb was between my university and the center, so it didn't take me much longer than 20 minutes to walk to either of them. Once down the street, you're already in the middle of the colorful Porto with lots of foodplaces, bars, everything. Paola is a wonderful, warm hostess, she also replies very quickly to text messages and communication was very easy already before the trip and during my stay, she was always there when I needed it. Since the bathroom is outside the room, she even loaned me one of her own bathrobes so that I didn't just have to walk through the apartment in a towel. The room itself has a beautiful wooden floor and everything you need, as a little extra there is even its own kettle in the room, although the room connects directly to the dining area and the kitchen is not far away. The dining room has a balcony and very large windows, so lots of light. Fresh tulips are often on the table or Paola has baked a cake or biscuits that she puts in the kitchen for everyone :). I met lovely people in this place and had very good experiences with the other guests.
Since Paola was still tinkering, beautifying, renovating during my short time, I am sure that the apartment will be even more beautiful for future guests.
One of the best Airbnbs I've ever been to! If I didn't wish Paola all the best, I would keep this insider tip to myself. Amazing, totally recommend it!
