I stayed one week at Elisabeth’s flat in Bonfim, while doing remote work. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. It is a place where you can feel at home. The size was perfect for me, one person. I could have stayed longer and in fact wished I had booked for longer, due to the nice flat and also that amazing city of Porto!
I got a lot of use from the kitchen, especially the nespresso machine :) The dishwasher made washing up easy. I only prepared simple meals for myself like salads and breakfast and it was great for that (though you could also cook if you wanted to). She has everything you need.
The apartment was absolutely quiet at night, plus it has an A/C. I got my best sleep I’ve had in Portugal so far.
I also really enjoyed the balcony.
Location was very good. Not directly in the tourist center (which is a plus) yet convenient to everything. The local restaurants and cafes were nice! Several veg/vegan/healthy places in the immediate neighborhood and a very good coffee shop around the corner. A supermarket at the end of the street (few mins walk) for stocking the mini-fridge.
The only slight downsides - as others have noted, there’s no lift so you must bring your luggage up the stairs. No big deal unless you are unable. The internet was a little weak at times but I never completely lost it, and mostly it was good. Always good enough to keep working. There is no laundry machine so you need to wash your clothes at the laundromat, which is super close by. And the chairs were a bit hard for sitting all day. I ended up moving the cushions from the others to one so I could sit for work a long time. All in all the downsides were minor and the highlights of the accommodations far outweighed them! Def don’t hesitate to stay here.
