Firstly, this apartment has a great location and was only a short walk to most places to see and eat. Also there are a lot of bus stops nearby.
There was a language barrier with staff however the host was responsive over message in helping us with what we needed.
We didn’t feel it looked completely as it did online, we were under the assumption the lounge and balcony was private, which it was not, as another flat had access to it. This room was also on a different floor to the bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom. Hence, you had to bring your keys with you to unlock the apartment again if you wanted to go in. Due to this, we didn’t use this room.
It’s good to note the double bed isn’t a double bed but just two single mattresses pushed together with a sheet over, sometimes they would come apart when trying to sleep on it.
There was a smells of sewage in the apartment throughout our stay, and there wasn’t any air freshener in the apartment to use, but may just be sewage issues.
Stairwell coming up to the apartment was poorly lit in some places which could make it difficult going up and down safely. Lights up the stairwell are automatic but there isn’t one near the front door to the apartment so we had to use a torch to see and unlock the door if we were coming back in at night.
We visited porto when it was very hot, which was nice however the apartment did get quite hot (I’m sure it doesn’t help being top floor). The air conditioning unit was really good but was only in the bedroom, the kitchen and bathroom both got very hot.
Overall we did have a great stay in Porto and the apartment lay out and decor is really nice. Location is great and the city is lovely! Would recommend overall :)
