Not as expected
The pictures of the apartment are misleading. It looks very nice but in reality it's disappointing compared to what you pay. In addition to the apartment not having any of the nice touches, there were some major issues:
- sewage smell in the kitchen
- not very clean
- balcony not like in the pictures, i.e. old and broken furniture, garbage was left outside, and it was dirty
- there is a opaque glass wall next to the bed, meaning that whenever someone turns on the light in the stairwell it shines very brightly into the apartment. Sleeping mask is necessary.
- communication with the host wasn't ideal, information about check-in was provided very late
As for positive points:
- spacious flat
- great location
- guide about Porto
