We did not enjoy our stay and in fact had a very hard time at the apartment because of the noise of hammering and sawing due to installation of a new roof during our entire stay. Unfortunately the owner failed to mention this work was to happen during our stay even though he clearly knew about it.

We had also asked the owner to disclose any mold issues since we have alergies to mold. The apartment was a remodeled refurbished apartment and the old fridge had been cleaned up, yet there was mold residues in the shelves and the dirty kitchen rags were apparently used exactly for that purpose. ( we asked if the rags were used for the floor and he said no, just the kitchen) again we were not notified and only later we put 2 and 2 together.

we had had a short visit to the apartment and not knowing Porto we didn't realize the amount of pollution (wind from the direction of refinery) and the constant multiple bus stations and metro and ships in that area are a serious factor in noise and pollution both. However we felt like this was not the fault of the owner for not disclosing. We could have lived with this, but the noise of hammering right above our head made our days very much impossible to rest. The night was noisy due to outside and neighbors as well.

Due to mold allergies we had to endure ill effect and staying in bed many days.

regardless we hope other people can enjoy this place if they chose to do so. Again disclosing matters such as extreme noise and (we had water cutoff for one day as well) is important and the responsibility of the owner.

The owner offered us ride to purchase an air-purifier and he considers this "a lot of help".
