We really wanted to like this place, and in some way, we enjoyed the flat. The location is close to Porto's nightlife, transportation and supermarkets and various cafes are nearby as well.
However, a few things really didn't do it for us:
- there was a random very strong sewer smell in the bathroom that would come and go, but be present for half the time
- the bed was very noisy and creeky, I think it's the Ikea bed's springs that made loud noises when you rotate on the mattress through the night
- the location is right on a busy street with some truck and busses, and with the windows not being sound proof it would get really loud in the apartment. Forget about trying to open the windows for the night.
- finally, there were 3-4 homeless people sleeping at the front entrance every night we stayed there. I understand that this is Porto and this is not extraordinary, but this made my wife feel very unsafe, leaving and coming back to the apt when it got dark.
