We go to Porto often and we usually stay at chain hotels but this time we looked for an apartment and Mim's Penthouse was recently listed. We didn't know what to expect from a place with no reviews at all but we gave it a chance. Oh how I'm glad we did. Amazing newly renovated apartment at the heart of Porto, walking distance to all the attractions and good restaurants and the best part: an amazing terrace around the whole apartment, from the living room/kitchen to the room.
We were welcomed by Mimi herself, who showed us the place and gave us instructions for how to open the electric curtains and how everything else worked. She also left a very nice wine bottle for us and there was more wine to buy at the apartment should we need one but didn't want to leave the place.
The kitchen was great and had lots of things we could use like olive oil, vinegar, salt and spices. We didn't cook this time because we love to try different restaurants and also our favorites but I'm sure we would have all kind of necessary items to cook there. We ordered breakfast on both days we were there and used utensils available there.
The room had a very comfortable bed, ensuite bathroom with heated marble floors and high-end amenities. The soaps and shower-gel were so nice. There was also a heated towel rack that kept our towels dry from one day to the other. There was also another service restroom which was great for when my wife wanted to put makeup on and I was taking a shower.
The decoration is very nice and modern which makes it so nice to just spend time there instead of walking around the city but we love Porto so we had to walk around a lot but the location of the apartment made our time so efficient because it is close to everything.
I am sure this place will be booked constantly when the pandemic ends because I have never seen such a nice place there. So worth the little extra money you pay relatively to a chain hotel but we parked our car and never moved it, that's how central the apartment is.
We are glad to have been the first guests welcomed by Mimi and are sure she is on the road to success.
See you soon Mimi!
