Carla met us at the apartment at the time we agreed upon. The apartment was not quite ready but this was due to an unforeseen circumstance. After a very long trip it was a bit inconvenient to have to come back in 30 minutes but we made the best of it and she recommended a great spot 5 mins walk to grab a beer and a snack. Plus, it was worth it to have the apartment clean and ready for us. Carla left us plenty of ways to contact her and took the time to highlight several things on our map and make recommendations. We found her very pleasant, passionate about her city, her country and the neighbourhood in general.
The apartment was just as it appeared on the site. Very clean, very bright and very Porto. We did find the bed a bit small and very firm. 2 more pillows would be good.... These small things were very minor, though and we would be happy to stay at this location again.
The shower was excellent, the location was awesome, the neighbourhood was very cool and the overall experience was great. We did have a couple of opportunities to chat with Carla and Marco. They were a very cool couple and it was great to see their connection with the neighbourhood.
