The only thing I can say is: tired and worn.
The host must continually have quick turns for this apartment and everything about it showed. There were scuff marks and scratches along the walls, furniture, etc. Even the sheets and towels looked like they needed to be replaced. Also, in the middle of my shower, the shower head fell. Luckily there was no injury this time.
The biggest issue we had was on the first night, then every day following for the next few days, there were water leaks from the ceiling.
When we relayed to the host our problems, they were quick to message back but did not provide any resolutions. This led us to ask for a partial refund to check out early, and find other accommodations. However it wasn’t until we got the Airbnb staff involved that the host agreed with the refund.
It is a stellar location, right in the heart of downtown Porto. However it’s behind a gated apartment alley where trash is regularly dumped.
Additionally, there are no windows or ventilation. The bathroom has a fan that isn’t able to keep up. You can open the second ‘door’ at the front of the apartment. It has bars on the outside, but the exhaust fan from the building across the alley (~3ft), blows straight into the apartment. If there is trash or someone smoking nearby, it all comes into the apartment.
Unfortunately, I will not be staying with LovelyStay again.
