I was fortunate enough to stay at Ha and Drew's gorgeous apartment for over a month while working remotely in Porto. It was, without a doubt, the best Airbnb experience I've ever had.
The floorpan of the unit allowed for a comfortable, quiet night's sleep, with the bedroom in the back of the apartment. The front of the unit offers lovely natural light and fun people watching from the balcony.
The tasteful interior design and ability to close off from the happenings of the lively neighborhood made for an ideal place for me to work from. I'm on camera leading Zoom presentations all day so fast, reliable internet and a quiet, clean setting is crucial when I book Airbnbs. This apartment was flawless from this standpoint and made for an inspiring and creative atmosphere to work out of.
The building is modern and secure with tons of great restaurants and nightlife right outside.
Directly below the apartment, you'll find The Bonita Concept Store, a total must! I became close friends with the owner and team, who host delicious wine tastings and sell affordable, specialty pieces of clothes, jewelry, small-batch wine, and more.
Ha and Drew's friend, Fabio, owns an amazing Vietnamese restaurant around the corner. I ate there multiple times a week and will miss them dearly as well.
With that said, the apartment has a jaw dropping kitchen that has everything you need and is a blast to cook from. Grocery stores, cafes, restaurants etc are all within a 2 -10 minute walk.
Ha and Drew were amazing hosts who truly love Porto. They were quick to respond and totally welcoming and accommodating. During my stay, I literally felt like this was home and will 100% be back. If this apartment is available during your time in Porto, I highly recommend you jump on it before someone else does!
