The apartment is really well-located, extremely close to the river, amazing cafes, and with easy access to get elsewhere in Porto. I think considering the location, it is really great value for money, and Mariana was very helpful and gave us lots of tips and suggestions.

However, it smells very damp in the apartment and my partner had terrible allergies anytime we were inside. There is also a strong sulfur smell in the bathroom. The wifi almost never worked. There isn't any rubbish bin provided and in the written instructions we are told we would face a fee if the rubbish was not disposed of outside of the apartment building...we weren't shown where we could dispose of any trash, making this difficult and inconvenient. I definitely think it's something that needs improvement.

In the end, it was a good place to be based with such a central location, and being able to walk almost anywhere was really nice.
