This place is a gem. Surprisingly a taxi can get you within a few 4? stairs of the apartment, even though it’s on a tiny fairly steep lane. We ended up walking everywhere except out to the Atlantic, but even that is doable, and the apartment is so close to all the sights and cafes, etc.
The place is nicely designed; the heat works well, and the kitchen has all the basics, including new pans, sharp knives, toaster. The washing machine can be programmed to wash and dry separately and doesn’t take forever as some European ones do. The bathroom is lovely, and Claudia changed our towels mid-week. Excellent hair dryer, too.
The wifi works fine, though upstairs is a better connection, and depending on your device, might not be fast enough for watching movies, for example.
Claudia is very gracious, soeaks perfect English, lives next door and is prompt answering any queries, though her information handbook has detailed instructions for everything in four languages. She provides soap for the washing machine, dishwasher, shampoo, and extras.
The bed is larger than most as well as more comfortable, with extra pillows and blankets if you need them. We were very comfortable there and enjoyed our week in Porto thoroughly.
