The mini apartment was clean and situated in a local interesting neighbourhood area of Porto. I stayed at the kitchenette for 6 days, In that time I did not meet the host Lurdes, but met her husband who provided me with a map and information to explore Porto. Unfortunately cannot recommend the accommodation, primarily because of the constant barking of two large dogs locked in a cage situated at the rear of the property and and near the apts. Every time I or other guests walked past the animals or they heard any noise (like opening your door) morning, day and night these poor animals would instantly bark. I felt very sorry for the animals. Upon my arrival to the apt I detected a bad oudor of dog faece as well I needed to pick up faeces from the patio outside of the application. Not a good start. , I spoke to the owner about this issue and the barking, and after tnoticed the dogs were taken out for walks and the cage hosed out more regularly. Sadly it did not stop the dogs from barking and my stay at times was quite unpleasant. I moved to another apartment, very beautiful, quite and host fantastic, value for money with river views. Sorry, the kitchenette was not value for money nor a good space, particularly for the animals.
