Here are a few of our thoughts about the stay, things that went well and things to help others plan for a successful stay here. To provide context we stayed 8 days and with a baby so a lot of our comments were from the POV of this being a good place for a family.
What we loved about this place:
- appliances were great, nice top of the line Smeg kettle and juicer. We especially loved the juicer and made good use of fresh orange juice
- place is beautiful and matched photos, special mention on the garden which is so tranquil and well maintained. Really nice zen area to relax after visits to dt porto
- good area, very close to metro, supermarkets, cafes, bakeries, and a few food spots etc. took us about 10 mins on metro to get to dt Porto
- very quiet and great for a sleeping baby and generally peaceful sleep at night
- a lot of privacy, felt secure and safe
- really tasteful decor
Things that need more attention:
- No tray on the high chair - this was tricky with our 10.5 month old
- the laundry machine fits exactly two towels only, if you have a long stay or plan to use the laundry would advise you use the laundromats close by. It’s great for a few small things not good for bigger loads
- the garage isn’t big and it would not fit all cars so plan in advance or ask ahead, max size is equivalent to a BMW X1
- no shelves in the shower, not super accessible for older folks or anyone with impairments
- limited containers to store left over food, no plastic wrap, and no rubber bands, we had to get creative to close our opened bags of things
- the rooms are in downstairs and depending on time of year can be damp and a bit cold
- second washroom is quite small
Thank you!
