Guests should know that there is major construction work underway at the rear of the building where the kitchen and bedroom are located. They are on for 11 hours per day Monday to Friday from 08:00-19:00. The windows provide good sound insulation but it is not possible to prevent the noise. It is also not possible to open windows due to noise. Anyone booking an apartment in Porto should be aware that there is significant restoration work going on and my advice would be to check with any host about proximity of building work.
The previous reviews are very accurate - location is absolutely amazing and if you are staying for a weekend, there is no construction work then.
Cleanliness standards could be a lot better - the cleaning fee is high and, for example, the quilt on the bed had no duvet cover in it. The bedding is old and the pillows worn.
If you don’t plan to be in the apartment much and location is what is important - this apartment will be perfect.
Francisco the host, is very responsive but just needs to get his cleaner to do a much better job.
