BEWARE OF ADDITIONAL CHARGES… following our landing in Porto we were ‘welcomed’ by the hosts messaging us to ‘remind’ us of an extra £20 charge to pay them directly for arriving ‘late’ (any arrival after 8pm). Previously to our arrival we were sent details about the apartment, check in etc with no mention of any additional charges. When i contested, we were told this information was in the listing which, after carefully rereading the listing, it was indeed included under ‘other information’ at the very end of the listing, and not under the check in rules which you will likely pay attention to.
The apartment itself was very nice and comfortable. It was very central but it is located on a busy square so was noisy until midnight when bars and restaurants closed.
If you want peace and quiet without sneaky additional charges, then look elsewhere. There will be plenty of other places in Porto that don’t try to rip you off just because you are a tourist.
