I will start with the positive- This apartment is located a short walk to the bus and tram line which takes you to the downtown area and is quieter than being directly in the busy city. There are cafes close by for tasty quick meals, espresso and baked goods. The living room provides space for lounging, dining in and enjoying coffee. The terrace is very large and provides a view of a nearby church and small view of the river. We stayed for 6 nights so the working dishwasher and clothes washer came in handy.
I wish I could say better things about the state of this apartment, it looks to have been nice at one time but needs care and repair. We took pictures and video of the disrepair, it is a shame you can not post photos. I will stick to explaining what we encountered so guest know what to expect when they visit. Electrical outlet in kitchen pulls out of wall, exposing wires. Missing light fixtures in kitchen and bathroom. Bare lightbulb attached with exposed wires in kitchen, same in bathroom. Shower curtain needs to be cleaned or replaced due to mildew. Kitchen waste can has a fair amount of black mold inside lid. There is water damage in kitchen resulting in a musty smell, warped cabinet door and base trim damage. The door from living area to outside terrace has a broken handle and is duct taped at handle and door transition, it appears not to open. The terrace was nothing like photos. Furniture and large table in pictures are damaged and not usable and pushed aside. The replacement table is in bad shape and has plastic chairs. There are no plants and looks sad with broken furniture and floor tiles. The bed is queen size. This is fine but if you are expecting two twin beds put together (they call this a "double bed" in Europe?) which is stated in description and looks like it in picture) it is not. Mattress needs to be replaced, it is old and very uncomfortable. Pictures are not a true reflection of this apartment condition. We only pointed out specific things we would want to know when booking an Airbnb. I hope the owners and managers don't take offense to these observations and instead fix the issues. We had a wonderful time in Porto and look forward to our return, but sadly we would not stay here again.
