Our stay at Gabriela's apartment wasn't as great as we expected. Although the place is clean and looks exactly as the photos show, the communication with Gabriela was so disappointing that the big terrace almost isn't worth it. Upon our arrival she did not respond to our messages for hours, with the excuse that we should have contacted her daughter, however the phone number she had given us was also hers, not her daughters. Furthermore, the accommodation description clearly states 'maximum privacy and independence', and she had not told us initially that she intends to freely enter the space she advertised as private (specifically, the winter garden). Especially at 10 am on a Sunday morning when we least expected it. The door was locked so she could have taken a hint. Maybe at least providing a curtain would help? Honestly, it seems as though she uses the space as a common area when it comes in handy, and a private area, when it suits her. Later on our electricity wasn't working and she did not respond to our messages yet again, this time an entire day. We found her approach irresponsible, intrusive, and a bit immature. There are many other wonderful places in Porto to rent, so we recommend other travelers to look elsewhere. But certainly do not miss out on Porto, it is a most amazing city!
