This is a truly excellent option for a short stay in Porto. Catarina and the DAHome team could not have been more responsive nor helpful throughout the stay, even providing some really great recommendations. The space itself is cosy, very comfortable and beautifully furnished. The location could
really not have been more ideal.
Some things which I think are worth mentioning which impacted negatively the stay:
- the apartment is very close to the neighbours. If you have noisy neighbours it’s impossible to be comfortable on the terrace or in the living room with the doors open.
- we stayed in the summer and the living room was full of bugs. The team gave us bug spray as soon as we raised it, but be prepared for large house centipedes, spiders, woodlice and more.
- there are homeless people living over the other side of the wall of the apartment garden. Although they did not bother us during the stay (apart from throwing rocks at seagulls that landed in the garden), leaving the apartment there were often characters hanging around close to the apartment who weren’t particularly friendly.
That being said, DAHome were amazing and overall we loved the space. Even after these considerations, it is still highly recommended!
