Fabulous view and location across the easily walkable scenic bridge to Porto. Marcelo was responsive and helpful when requests were made. I Wasn’t sure how it would feel to be on the ‘other’ side of the bridge from Porto , but we loved it!
The apartment is new and very clean , however extremely bare and lacks warmth and comfort. I realize now that this is a very new listing and so not much thought has gone into needs of travelers that have an impact on the comfort and ease of ones stay
Examples:
One bath towel per person allotted for 4 Night stay
Lack of wash cloths, extra blankets, linens, pillows
Lack trash cans in baths/bedroom
Lack of paper towels or napkins
bedsheets felt rough and unpleasant
Flimsy hanging rack for cloths - lack of any closets & drawers.
Lack of instructions/notes for use of appliances or anything in apartment, except one Incomplete note about trash and Wi-Fi access
Overall , The unit felt sparse, sterile and unprepared for guests but I believe the Host wants to address these issues.
Marcelo was responsive when texted with questions and immediately brought us additional towels, and came to to help connect us to the TV that was inaccessible. He also coordinated an early morning transport to the airport.
This could EASILY be a 5+ star apt with a little attention to simple details.
