This property is in a really excellent location - on the edge of the Riberia, close to all the sights. We absolutely loved our visit to Porto and would go back to the city in a flash.
The house has been very cleverly and tastefully renovated. It is very charming, clean and well-equipped. We were grateful for the dishwasher and washer/dryer! It was a shame that the WiFi and tv didn’t work - but we realise that’s the luck of the draw.
I love airbnb because it gives you an authentic experience to live more like a resident than a tourist, compared to staying in a soulless chain hotel. This does mean you sometimes have to take the rough with the smooth! The evenings were pretty noisy in the street outside - radios and people shouting between houses. This added atmosphere and didn’t compromise our sleep! However, unfortunately two drug users had taken up residence under the scaffolding at the top of the street. While they didn’t pose a threat, it was probably a more gritty experience for my young children than I would have chosen. I realise this is outside the control of the property owner, and may be a temporary issue.
We really appreciated the swift and helpful communications with Veronica, and the help she provided throughout our stay.
