One of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in!
1. It’s Immaculately clean. Looks and feels brand new— not even a scratch on the walls or furniture. Pillows were each covered with 2 pillowcases
2. It has all the amenities you need. Netflix on the TVs, already signed in to the owner’s account. Kitchen with a Keurig & coffee pods, fridge, utensils and cooking/cleaning supplies. I was even able to steam my clothes 🥲
3. So much attention to detail!! Whoever designed/decorated this place really knows what they are doing. There were more than enough pillows and the bed was very comfortable. Hooks and racks in all the right places to hang clothes/towels. There were robes and slippers in the bedroom as well as a huge, floor-length mirror. Perfectly working A/Cs and shower. Port wine and pastel de nata (from Manteigaria, most locals will tell you that’s the best bakery) as welcome gifts 🥰
4. Location is not exactly central, but I ended up preferring it that way. It’s right along the river and a 20-minute walk to most popular areas. Traveling solo for this trip, I was a bit skeptical of privacy (the huge windows in the living room), but the apartment is up a quiet alley and I didn’t feel disrupted or unsafe. You could pretty easily walk back from the downtown area at night since the street leading to the apartment is well-lit and relatively busy.
My flight in to Porto arrived really late, but the self check-in was flawless ☺️ I wish I could have stayed here longer!
