Paula's apartment was super cute and a good place for two people. It was very spacious. And a great deal with two bedrooms and bathrooms. It was also a huge plus to have a terrace.
We never met Paula but Pedro was incredibly kind and recommended great places to visit. He also gave us the option for a later check out - which we didn't use but really appreciated the gesture. And we left us two little bottles of muscadel and some cookies.
Important things to know about the place though are:
1) the bathroom upstairs is inside the bigger bedroom. So the person in the smaller room needs to use the bathroom downstairs. Or walk through the main bedroom.
2) The bigger room is very comfortable but has no windows and no fan so with the door closed it can get a little stuffy.
3) The ceiling is paper thin it seems. When the upstairs neighbors are home you can hear everything they say. When they walk the floor creaks very loudly. They settled in around the same time we went to bed so we were able to sleep but it was surprisingly loud when they were up and about.
4)The building has been renovated and is very nice but the block itself felt a little sketchy. We took Uber's back at night - and all the drivers waited to see us get in (I guess they do that in Porto) - so we felt safe in the end but being unfamiliar with the area, we didn't feel comfortable walking. Also there was a homeless person who had carved out an area on the block as home. We didn't actually see the person and we never worried but did take us aback.
I really liked the place and Pedro just want to give some details I wish I had had when booking the place.
