We had a positive experience in Simone's apartment. The apartment itself is very cozy and the balcony was an added bonus (lots of cranes and construction during the day, but was great to experience it at night). It offered great views of some of the historical sites in Porto. The area had some great restaurants and bars all within walking distance. We also enjoyed the gifts as well.
We had a few issues with the Wifi in which the cable company was at fault. The host was generous to offer a partial refund.
