Very clean and great location. Very safe area. You are within walking distance of the river (just down the steps), the clerigos Tower, ribieria, the cathedral and all the other main tourist sites. It is also nice and quiet and you feel like you are getting a real feel for Porto because you are not in a touristy hotel. There is also
a great bakery just up the street and you can walk to the san bento station which gets you to the airport. You could park a car outside if needed, although it is a steep slope!
Our host was not waiting for us on arrival (although it was 1.10am but we had agreed arrival at 1am and messaged when we were on the train from the airport and when we were walking from the train station). The host did not respond through air bnb and we had to call them via WhatsApp. Not a huge problem just something to be aware of.
We were met by a great guy (sorry I can’t remember his name) who gave us lots of local tips and suggested what we should see. The food recommendations were amazing.
The apartment was very clean and a great size. You could easily fit 3-4 people.
The downside is that you have to pay for it each extra person and they only provide the number of towels for the number of people. The towels were very small and thin and often did not dry if you had a shower in the morning and again in the evening. It would have been nice to have an extra or thicker/better quality towel, especially if you are staying more than a couple of days.
They made the sofa into a bed for the second person which was nice but not needed for us as we only used the double bed. This meant we lost our seating area. Not a huge issue as we just sat on the sofa bed but maybe specify if you don’t need the sofa bed making up.
We were given a complimentary bottle of Porto wine. We do not drink but it is a nice touch. The cupboards are not stocked with basic foods/oil etc. if you want to cook but we did not want to cook as there are so many great (and cheap) restaurants. There is a supermarket at the bottom of the street but we did not visit it.
