We had such great expectations for the Townhouse based on the photos and reviews. It could be spectacular - but was just okay.
The pros:
- Incredible location. We were walking distance to so much of Porto. Darling square out front which was quiet in the evenings.
- Cool space. The apartment is large, with unique vintage details, including an enormous staircase and french doors overlooking the square.
- The kitchen was well-equipped.
- The outdoor deck overlooked the square which was lovely.
- They left a welcome gift of port and cookies.
The cons:
- Terrible communication with Pedro and his assistant.
- The apartment is fairly run down - Every faucet in the apartment was loose and would not shut off completely without great effort.
- The second bathroom is tiny - the shower is crazy small.
- The lighting in the living room was terrible - so dark we could barely see at night.
- There was a coffee maker with no pods left for us, and it is a brand that isn't easy to find. We went to four different grocery stores nearby and none of them carried the required brand.
- We found extra pillows, but no cases were provided.
In all, I would probably not recommend this Airbnb to a friend, unless the issues were addressed.
