Absolutely perfect location that made walking to just about anywhere super easy. The apartment was very clean and cute and they did a nice job providing everything you could want even for an extended stay. We stayed for over a week and they did provide a cleaning service that switched our sheets and towels free of charge which was nice :)
The street is a pedestrian street with lots of restaurants and bars but the apartment was surprisingly very quiet!
The hosts were very communicative and responsive to our needs. They will link you into a Whats App chat that is manned by a team so they never kept us waiting for more than an hour when we needed something.
Overall great value and I’d recommend staying but a few things to note if you’re staying here -
1. There’s no AC and even in the early fall months when it’s a high of 70-75F the apartment can be quite warm and humid. Windows will need to be kept open and they do provide a fan and humidifier to combat it, but it can still be uncomfortably warm as air flow isn’t the easiest to achieve
2. While we never felt uncomfortable or unsafe (Porto is VERY safe), there were a few homeless people who occasionally camped out in the alcove next door and from the smell I’m guessing probably urinated near the entryway to our building. Nothing to worry about per se and they never bothered anyone or us, just slightly unpleasant as despite regular cleaning and the police trying to move them the smell does persist as you enter the building.
3. The apartment itself never smelled, but neighbors around do smoke so given that the windows really need to be open most of the time, the smell of cigarette smoke can be a little bothersome from time to time.
