This home is advertised as seen. The host was accommodating to the two last minute guests I had to add to the reservation (my mom and sister flew to Portugal last minute to join in my birthday celebrations) and had the extra room to accommodate. The reservation was originally 4 people. We experienced a small issue towards the end of our stay but the host was quick and efficient to resolve to our satisfaction. Location is perfect if you don’t want to be directly in the “busiest” areas and is a 25-40 min walk or 10-15 min Uber to all the best spots.
My piece of vital feedback/warning to guests traveling from non-native language speaking countries comes in regards to the communication via a language barrier. As my party was visiting from the US, we knew very little Spanish or Portuguese. This was to be expected, but provided to be more of a challenge than anticipated. The host of the home did not check us in or out in person, but rather employed a local person who spoke no English (the host is able to communicate in English) and it made this difficult to communicate the house expectations with checking in or out. This is 100% because of the language barrier and not because of the attempt of communication. Thanks for a good stay in Porto!
