Paulo’s place is in the very centre of Porto which is very convenient to wander around the city and is the great thing about this flat.
Please note that, as other reviewers mentioned, it is situated in front of a very busy club which opens Wednesday to Saturday. We only where at the flat on a Saturday and the noise is extraordinary and lasts until 6-7 am. We are not light sleepers at all but we kept waking up every hour from the music and the people shouting on the street.
One other thing is that all over the building there is a constant humid/mould/toilety odour which is very unpleasant. Not in the flat, but all around inside the communal areas.
Also, we were a bit unlucky with the weather which was rainy and cold. The flat has no heating so one, we had no place to dry our soaking wet clothes and shoes and two, we were freezing in the flat and could only stay under the blankets. There is a big hole in the window which is covered by tape and this made the flat even colder.
Last thing is the state of the bathroom. It needs a general deep cleaning as you could see this hadn’t been done for a long time and the drains need unblocking as they fill up in 2 seconds.
All in all, we would recommend it for the travellers who come to the city to party and don’t care much about the above details and just need a base in the very heart of Porto!
