Location location location! Seconds from the Clerigos Tower and Livraria Lello. This Airbnb is truly magical and so centrally located. We cannot wait to come back.
The two floors makes it great to spread out (the stairs are very minimal even though people have talked about needing to be 'fit' to stay here), and you really feel like its your home. Everyone talks about the view, which is gorgeous!
Surprisingly quiet at night, minus some construction that started in the AM. There is actually quite a bit of construction in Porto, so if you're visiting and need to sleep during the day (eek, jetlag) bring earplugs! Bed was quite hard, which was our only complaint.
Finally, people have talked about this in other reviews, but yes, the street the apartment is on smells of urine and there is a homeless man living nearby. Being that we're from NYC we didn't mind it.
Filipa was super helpful and let us store our bags at her restaurant while we waited for the apartment to be ready, which was very helpful. Sad we didn't get to eat there but her shop is a very popular destination in Porto, confirmed my our friends that live there.
Thank you again and can't wait to return to Porto :)
