An excellent place with great value!
First of all, Monica is a perfect host. She helped with all our questions about Porto, arranged a cleaning service (as we were staying long-term) and is a genuinely friendly and welcoming person.
Then, the place is exceptional. It's roomy, it's quiet, it's well stocked. The internet connection is stable and has enough bandwidth. There is no washing machine, but there is a laundry 100 meters from the apartment.
Don't be fooled by the photo of the terrace! It does not look big in the photos... *BUT IT'S HUGE!* It's, like, 5 by 5 meters! And it's sunny and private. Loved it.
The location is perfect: it's in a *quiet* nook of a very hip and lively district of Porto. A lot of brunch, dining and partying options. City center is within 15 minutes walking distance. Proper supermarkets if your into home cooking.
There is a sort of "community center" right below the apartment. They organize concerts/paries on weekends sometimes and may be too noisy for some, but we never were angry with them. And being able to enjoy *live music while sitting on your own private terrace* is kinda cool.
Overall, we were very happy staying at Monica's and may even come again some day. Thanks for having us!
