It was a fine stay. The apartment looked and felt like advertised, and the location was good.
A few things to note:
- Around 8 in the morning the noise from the construction work is so loud you can't even talk in the apartment. We always get up early so it wasn't too much of a problem, but if you like to sleep in: this place is not for you until the construction work is done.
- It was said we might be able to check in early if we asked a day before, which we did. A lovely idea, but in the end we had to ask a few times when the apartment was ready and even had to remind the host after the check-in time to let us know when we could enter the apartment.
- The advertised blow dryer wasn't available. After a few reminders we got on the day before we left. This helped a lot.
- Some hand soap and an extra toilet paper roll or two would've been appreciated, but as it isn't a hotel, it makes sense that this wasn't the case.
- Bed was very comfortable, big plus here.
- Porto is very hilly, so prepare to walk
In short: if you are an early riser and are looking for good value for money, I'd recommend this place :-)
