Overall, we had an okay stay at this apartment that was hosted by GuestReady.
Pros:
- The apartment was spacious and great for 2 people. Pretty good furniture, and we liked that there were two TVs, one in the living room and one in the bedroom.
- Fast internet, which was perfect for working remotely: 200+mbps/100+mbps download/upload speeds.
- The location was pretty good. It's located right in the art district of Porto, and it's a close walk to many of the main areas (e.g. within 15-20 minutes walking).
Cons:
- The amenities were very, very lacking. For our two week stay, they provided us with only two rolls of toilet paper and a single trash bag. When we asked the host for extra supplies, they replied that they "only provide the essential amenities for the first night". After re-reading the listing description, I do see that this was mentioned, but I just found it quite hard to understand why so little was provided. If just a few extra rolls of toilet paper and a couple extra trash bags were provided (which should only cost a few cents), then we would have been fine! The fact that they intentionally withheld extra crucial supplies was pretty annoying.
- The amenities that were provided were also not great quality-wise. The bath towels were very thin, the bedding felt very cheap, and the bath soap/shampoo and dish soap were not that good.
This place as a short-term stay (i.e. a few nights) is probably fine, but I wouldn't recommend longer stays here of more than a week. I would have preferred finding another place that put more thought into the place. Overall, this place did not feel "guest ready", despite the name of the property management company.
