We arrived to Porto around 9pm. Had to wait for Luis to show up but it wasn't too bad. The apartment seemed very spacious. Tall ceilings. Lots of space. Two bathrooms. Kitchen. Living area.
The apartment is too minimally furnished. While the apartment looks cute enough, the soundproofing is terrible. The sound echoed, and we could absolutely hear EVERYTHING from the outside and the apartment above us. Next morning, at 7am, we could hear neighbors walk, talk, flush and everything else.
Another issue was that there was no soap of any kind, no shampoos, lotions, no drinking water, etc. The small things that make you feel welcome. (We literally couldn't wash our hands. Hand soap in the bathrooms should be provided by the host. I don't travel with the bar of soap but looks like I should)
Next issue was that an apartment was full of mosquitoes. When we walked in, the French doors were wide open. While the fresh air was welcome, mosquitoes were not. We ended up spending two hours at night (past midnight) trying to catch and kill all the mosquitoes in out bedroom. That was super annoying. We barely got any sleep between the mosquitoes and all the noises.
The apartment was also pretty cold (we were there in November). The electrical heater in the room was giving off bad smell. So we ended up being cold at night. The pillows and blanket were also quite subpar. There were only two tiny pillows on the bed (one per person).
Even though, we booked the place for three nights, we were so uncomfortable, that we moved to a hotel after the first night.
(So far the host refused to refund us even one night)
