Read before staying
It is always a risk staying somewhere with few reviews.
The good:
- We paid £211 for three nights which is much cheaper than others in the area.
- Great location right in the heart of Porto. -Has a little shop at the bottom of the road and a bakery at the top.
-Comfortable and interesting space.
-Air conditioning
-Good little balcony with a partial view of the river.
The bad:
- When we arrived it hadn't be cleaned.
- Though they sorted this relatively quickly they were stingey with compensation and we are still chasing them for the compensation they agreed to.
- Our electrics went out (not their fault of course) and we were offered little support. We worked with The Lovely Stay for around 3 hours on the phone in the end we fixed it ourselves. They were clearly unwilling to send somebody out.
- You are dealing with a company, not the owner, so you are talking to people who don't know the flat and often a different person picks up the phone each time.
-Many amenities missing
No TV
No internet
No speakers
No herbs and spices or coffee pods for the coffee machine
Basically this flat has loads of potential but is being run as a stripped back business and as such it does not feel homely.
