I stayed at Silvia’s 1 bedroom 1st floor apartment (2nd floor for US convention) for a 3 night weekend stay at the beginning of January 2019. I was traveling alone.
The location:
its easy to get to by the public transportation. Very central. Direct Metro ride from airport, no transfer needed.
Convenience stores (small supermarkets) are 10 meters away.
The apartment:
All the basics are there, coffee machine is a dolce gusto, you can find the pods in the supermarket downstairs.
The water heating system seems to provide hot water for about 10 minutes, then a 30 min wait needs to happen to get warm water again. So make sure you plan your water use if you are not traveling alone.
Note that Porto can be quite cold in winter (especially after sunset) and most apartment buildings are not insulated, (both for heat exchange and sound, that’s not specific to Silvia’s place). Even with space heaters, apartments can be cool. You’ll also hear the neighbors. Again not specific to Silvia’s as it’s the same situation at my friend’s places there.
My stay was pleasant, Silvia’s place is a good jumping point to visit the city when traveling alone.
Thanks
