We spent a total of six nights in the appartment. It is divided into two stories, the lower one has a small kitchen that is quite efficiently set up and quite well equipped. There is some kind of microwave oven, but no real oven. The small freezer in the fridge was fully covered with ice, so we were unable to use it. Otherwise we did not miss anything. The living room space is quite small, but also well arranged and uses the space well.
In February it was quite cold downstairs since the heater is located upstairs.
Upstairs is the bed and a bathroom. The bed is really big and comfy, there is a huge mirror on the wall, a very well-working heater and a big window in the roof that makes the whole room very bright. The bathroom is quite small, and the temperature of the shower was difficult/close to impossible to adjust. There was quite some ants in the upper story, which was a big annoying. Otherwise the place was okay clean.
Pros:
- Super central location, 2 minutes to Sao Bento train station
- Small garden that gets some sun during the afternoon (in February)
- Very comfy and big bed
Cons:
- Not much space, no storage space upstairs.
- Not super clean
- Quite cold downstairs in winter
- Hard to set temperature of the shower
Altogether a good option for shorter stays in Porto, but for longer we would not recommend it. We stayed for six days and that was maybe a bit too long already.
This is part of a bigger accomodation complex that consists of several apartments. You have to go through the main building to access the ones in the garden.
