My stay at Catarina's place was really lovely. The building is beautiful with some incredible detailing and ornate windowns in the main hall. There is a cute cafe/brunch place downstairs as well as Lidl store across the street. Ofcourse there are multiple other shops and restaurants nearby.
What I liked the most was the location. It is not in city center (which I think is a plus), however you can very easily walk to the center, the beach, Crystal gardens, Museum of modern art and other locations. There are multiple bus stops nearby and the metro station is about 500 metres away so it is really easy to get around Porto from here. If you like classical music you are literally five steps away from Casa da musica. Also there is an incredible cemetary and botanical garden nearby.
The room itself was clean and the bed was super comfortable. The tv doesn't have many channels in english (which is completely understandable), but there is Netflix and other streaming services available there.
The check in was really easy - Catarina sent me a digital code to the doors and there was no issue. There is a common kitchen shared among all the guests which I thought was great because maybe you don't want to eat out every single meal of the day for the period you are staying. You can easily go to the local Lidl and make yourself a breakfast and eat it on the balcony:)
The kitchen was well stacked with all the utensils, free tea, coffee, sugar, salt etc. There is a big fridge there too as well as microwave oven.
Catarina kept the place very clean. The kitchen was always super clean. Sometimes you can hear some of the other guests but I never had any issues with anyone being loud at night. Yes, you can hear someone in the other room is showering but in my opinion that doesn't bother me.
Overall I had a great stay and would definitely come again. I will recommend this airbnb to my friends who are coming to Porto.
