Location was perfect for exploring Porto, but it was Florinda who made the stay extraordinary. Every restaurant she recommended exceeded our expectations. She was also incredibly helpful in getting us reservations to restaurants that would have been hard for us to manage due to language barriers. (The Door and Alibi, both within minutes of the flat, were simply amazing.)
The flat itself was nice, but there were some issues. It was spacious with a lovely back terrace, and all the amenities listed were provided. While admittedly a matter of taste, the beds were not very comfortable—thin mattress and thin pillows. What was concerning, though, was the mold. Most older homes in Porto have it, but the flat had two significant areas of mold intrusion, one so serious that there was a large hole in the ceiling with a bucket underneath. I mention because some people have allergies so it’s a health issue.
Still an excellent stay and we really, really appreciated Florinda as our host.
