Silvia was a fantastic host, she kept in touch early on, provided helpful information and directions to get to the apartment. You can see the effort she puts into providing a pleasant experience for her guests: she gave us tons of recommendations and must-see attractions around town!
For those looking to book this accommodation, some things to note:
Pros:
- great location, only 3 minutes walking from the main train station in town and 6 minutes to downtown Porto
- quiet neighborhood with shops and groceries within walking distance.
- decent space in the unit with separated living room and bedroom areas.
Opportunities:
- the bed frame's wooden planks that support the mattress constantly fell through while sitting and sleeping which was frustrating.
- there didn't seem to consistently be running hot water for our stay. Silvia advises approximately 20 minutes of hot water, and then more after an hour
- wifi was pretty slow. It felt as if the router was in another unit in the building.
