the “old stone” flat is in the old part of porto very close to the river and the tourist areas.
you may find this appealing but be prepared for all night noise: horn honking, sirens & traffic noise as it faces right on a very busy street. we were not able to sleep with the windows ajar for the noise.
the flat is well set up for cooking & washing; however the bedroom is like a box in one corner of the flat & therefore has no window, or any fresh air flow. there is a ceiling fan in the lounge room for the extra guests that may be sleeping there.
there were no pillow cases provided for the extra pillows and the bed was uncomfortable.
the lounge was in a most unacceptable state: the “leather” covering was flaking off all over it & the whole back of the lounge hinges were broken so it did not remain upright when you sat on the lounge.
when we alerted the host to this issue we received ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE or any messages for the rest of the time we stayed there……. not even any message to enquire about our check out etc.
just silence !
porto is a beautiful city to spend time in, the sights and the culture is still not as “globalized” as many other european cities,
and there is so much to see & experience !
