We LOVED our stay in Porto! The apartment was beautiful and spacious, providing the perfect place to work remotely. We also appreciated the apartment's design, the modern amenities, and central location. The space is HUGE and open-concept, with a great outdoor sitting area accessible off the bedroom.
Our stay was 'long-term' (7 weeks) and as such we needed to provide a deposit for the utilities at check-in: "We request a deposit of 100€ at the check-in and take a photo of the electricity and water meters with the guest present. Every month, we calculate and charge the guest the amount spent (for instance: Kw spent multiplied by the cost per Kw, approximately 0.19€/Kw). The deposit will be returned by the end of the stay after checking the space and receiving the payment of every bill." Unfortunately, our deposit (or the difference) was not returned to us at check-out. If you are planning a long-term stay, seek clarity from Carolina on the deposit. There is also an additional fee for cleaning for long-term stays –we ended up doing it ourselves. Near the beginning of our stay, we asked for extra linens, which we washed ourselves because the the property management seemed to be a bit disorganized.
Overall, we had a lovely stay in this beautiful Porto apartment!
