We loved our stay at this apartment. Maria was a very welcoming host and was super accommodating, staying up very late to welcome us and introduce us to the city.
The apartment is in a great location for exploring Porto, is just as it appears in the photos with beautiful stylish decor and is spotlessly clean throughout. It had everything we could need.
There are two things you might want to know, neither of which bothered us that much but it’s worth pointing out. There is not much natural light in the apartment as the windows are all facing the building very close next door. This is shown in the photos so wasn’t a surprise, and didn’t bother us at all, but if lots of natural light and/or a view are important to you this might not be perfect for you.
The other thing to know is that it’s really quite noisy. I know Porto is a busy, bustling and noisy city everywhere but there is very little sound insulation, and there is a lot of construction noise as well as noise from the street and adjoining apartments. This only bothered us a couple of times, and Maria had thoughtfully left ear plugs by the bedsides, but again if you are looking for a very quiet sanctuary type space this might not be the place for you.
Overall though we were very happy with our stay and the location and beautiful decor made up for any minor niggles.
