Excellent property. Best features include:
1. Modern, clean, and recently refreshed decor.
2. Modern galley kitchen, appliances and fully equipped (the fridge didn't fully cool, check with the host to ensure that that has been fixed.)
3. Sixth floor with two small balconies, overlooking the Metro park.
4. Excellent WiFi !!!
5. Excellent hot water pressure (rare in AirBnBs)
6. Quiet neighbors
7. excellent price
Excellent location!
1. Within one block you find, several bus stops/routes, metro station (Trindade) with all metro lines. Grocery stores (Mercado and Supermercado), pharmacies, cafes (though the nearest ones are forgettable).
2. The location is on the North end of the cultural and historic center of Porto. Most Porto sights/sites are within 1/2 mile (1 KM) downhill. Everything else, including Gaia locations easily accessible via metro or bus.
3. A 'find.'
The two streets behind the metro station have several businesses where locals shop and for us the cheapest prices on wine and other tourist foodstuffs.
Things that might be a problem, or not, depending on your expectations.
1. Close to two hospitals. There may be sirens at night.
2. Like over 90% of similarly sized housing in Porto, there is no AC.
3. you climb six stairs before you get to the elevator/lift
4. lack of contact with the hosts.
5. get English instructions for the many options on the clothes washer dials.
6. appearance of the street entry does NOT reflect the quality of this flat.
