Both my partner and I could not have hoped for a better experience during our relatively short stay in Burgos 21.
The host was incredibly attentive and responsive to all our needs. He was also incredibly friendly. The customer service provided by him puts some 4-star and I would say 5-star hotels to shame.
The minimalistic decor of the entire place was truly appreciated. We also felt incredibly safe and secured as almost every door was passcode operated. In any case, the location felt very safe as a whole.
In terms of location, Burgos 21 in our opinion is very well located. It is a distance from the main tourist centres but we believe that this is an advantage as it provides you with the opportunity to experience the real, non-touristy Porto. Lots of wonderful cafes and mini-markets nearby that operate round the clock. There is also an amazing barbershop nearby!
Pros
- Beautiful, modern design
- Great customer service
- Incredible host
- Really quiet neighbourhood
- Non-Touristy area for the real experience of the place
Cons
- About 6km away from the main attractions (Bridges, etc) but provides you with the opportunity to exercise more by walking to these places (and we were happy to do so unless the weather was off). Otherwise there is also public transportation (can be used with Andante card). :)
We surely look forward to staying here on short trips. Thank you Gonçalo!
