Not a great stay in Porto. This is quite clearly a serviced apartment masquerading as an Airbnb. It is not lived in and you will notice that when you arrive. It looks great in photos - and by all means does in real life too. Though the communication between myself and Aline was non existent. I spent most of my time talking to someone called Joana? She must manage the apartment for Dixos - have a look at their profile pictures they’re all the same (lol). After initially being told someone would meet us at the apartment, the day before Joana informed us that she would no longer be able to do so. The key would be waiting for us in a lockbox attached to the door. On arrival there was no key in the lockbox. Always a great start when visiting a new city. After messaging and calling the owner for 20 minutes the owner frantically responded with a variety of excuses (I couldn’t really understand). Though assured us that someone was on the way asap. 30 minutes after that a woman arrived with a key to let us in. She didn’t say hello or introduce herself - just went straight to the door and unlocked it. Asking her what had happened she laughed responding ‘I guess someone forgot to put it in’. Bizarre. Not even sure who she was.. maybe Joana? Maybe someone else. Oh well. Let’s get to the fun part - like sleeping? That’s a shame. This place is conveniently placed amongst the buzz in Porto, there’s no doubt about that. The street is a major thoroughfare for tourists and aggressive taxi drivers. This will be busy almost 24/7 during summer. During the hot weather with no fan or air conditioning, the only way to cool the apartment is by opening the windows to the street. I spent most of the night frequenting the window to cool the apartment and then having close them due to the excessive noise. This place is ridiculous. I’ve had some of the worst sleeps of my life. You’ll hear the locals yelling at each other across the street. Drunk tourists singing their favourite tunes. Taxi drivers beeping furiously at tourists trying to cross the street. I can imagine this is less of an issue during winter (maybe?). We were also pleasantly surprised with someone ringing the doorbell at 4:45am on our final night. Absolutely scared my girlfriend which was fun. Oh, and don’t be fooled by the other comments regarding the great ‘local suggestions’ either. They’ve cleaned out their local tourist center and have a bunch of pamphlets. Great right? Nah. The idea of Airbnb is that you get that ‘personal touch’ from the locals. This is everything but. Feels more like a British ex-pat trying to make some side cash from his Portuguese investment. I would suggest staying in a hotel as it’s of relative cost - you’ll essentially get the same thing PLUS air-conditioning and the bonus service...
