The apartment is located in a convenient, central area of Porto, close to the main attractions. It was exactly as advertised, and yes... minimal, very minimal... to the point of being non-functional to some extent. As the quote goes “minimalism is not about having less, it’s about making room for more of what matters”, and I think a bit more attention could have been put into this apartment for what matters to guests to feel at home. For example, the kitchen doesn’t have a dish rack and considering there is no dishwasher it becomes tricky to wash/dry dishes after a meal, also considering only one kitchen cloth was provided, and of the cheap type that once it gets wet, it stays wet forever. Or in the living room, nowhere to hang a coat or jacket. Or in the bedroom, there are no hangers or drawers for clothes. Or in the washroom, only two small hangers for towels that wouldn’t fit enough towels for two people (a couple hooks on the wall or behind the door would make it so much better). Then wi-fi, you’d expect a fast connection since it’s one of the criteria for Airbnb Plus but I couldn’t get more than 15 Mbps download / 23 Mbps upload (that’s right, faster to upload than download), and that doesn’t classify as “fast” in my books (note: I’ve been in a lot or Airbnb’s during this trip and this was the slowest wi-fi connection I experienced, by a large margin). Lastly, when we arrived the smoke alarm was beeping intermittently because the battery was low, and there was no soap in the bathroom or shampoo in the shower. These issues were fixed within a couple of hours, after I let Joana know. All in all, if somebody is staying for a day or two and plans to use the space just for sleeping, I would say this can be a good option, but if somebody wants to stay for a few nights, maybe cook some meals and feel at home, I would not recommend this place.
