This apartment is in a great location, central to everything in Porto's downtown area, and an easy walk to the riverfront. It's also very tastefully decorated, clean and newly renovated, and completely matches the photos online. I had two issues which prevented me from giving 5 stars:
1. The shower drain is very clogged, so after a few minutes of showering you're standing in several inches of dirty water around your ankles.
2. Entry and exit to both the building and apartment is via 1 set of keys only, and there is no way to lock the apartment door from the inside without using a key. This creates a challenge. If one person leaves the apartment and takes the keys, if they lock the door from the outside the people inside cannot get out; if they don't take the keys they may not be able to get out the building door if the other tenant bolted it, and if so they won't be able to get back in. Not sure how this is not a potential fire hazard. It would be much better if they at least had a keypad for entry to the building, so anyone who leaves can then just knock on the apartment door. Or at a minimum, provide an additional set of keys.
Also, the host had us meet her at a nearby cafe, which is fine, but while the apartment building is only a couple of blocks away, it's all uphill which is a hassle for pulling suitcases. Would have been easier for the host to meet us at the building itself.
