I want to begin and say Teresa has great communication from our booking until the end of our stay, however, my husband and I were not happy with the apartment for several reasons.
The bathroom was very small and the shower did not close properly which made it very uncomfortable. The stairs are very narrow and unsteady. We felt unsafe to bring up our luggage to the bedroom due to these conditions. The stairs are held with thin rods which do not provide support, and I felt unsafe every time I used the stairs. Someone can have a misstep and fall through the railing as there are considerable gaps. The condo was very cluttered. While you can appreciate her decor, the branding takes up a considerable amount of space that can be utilized by the guest. We used the washer once, and it was very noisy, almost made us wonder if it was previously broken. This discouraged us from utilizing it further. We were explicitly told not to adjust the AC, and it was set to its optimal settings. That being said it was set to 25C, and during our time in Porto, the weather was above 30C, this did not provide any comfort when we came back home..There is no elevator in the building and you have to carry your luggage up 4 flights of stairs. Be warned if you aren’t an able bodied person.
The condo is in an ideal location for visiting Porto, however, it is very loud at night due to the bars and restaurants downstairs. We found this odd as Theresa Told is to be mindful of the neighbours and not be loud beyond 9pm.
