Peaceful apartment, very clean and comfortable! The location was great, I really enjoyed exploring Gaia, and you’re only a short walk from the centre of Porto. Large patio to relax in the sun and a cute friendly neighbourhood kitty came to say hello most days. Very powerful and modern shower and bathroom.
Overall the place was perfect, the only issue was checking in- I’d told them that I had an event at 2:30 pm so would they prefer for me to check in before (1:30pm) or after (4pm). They chose to meet me to check in at 1:30pm, however due to traffic I had to wait on the pavement for over an hour- this meant I completely missed my event (the reason I was in Porto) and I was obviously upset. When Silvia eventually showed up she offered no apology, only excuses. When I told her I now missed my event she was immediately very defensive and irritated- instead of apologising she said she was sorry I didn’t understand and that it wasn’t her fault. I didn’t want a confrontation so instead of arguing I backed down quickly. I understand things happen that are out of our control but it is their responsibility to make sure they are on time- there was also no communication that they would be this late- they kept saying 5 more mins over text. So frustrating because if they had just told me then I could have gone to my event and come for check in afterwards! I was thoroughly disappointed that I missed my event but also disappointed with the lack of responsibility they showed. The place being so nice definitely made up for it.
