We had a great time in Porto, and this apartment had everything we needed. It was very small; but for us, it felt cozy. It was very central and well-located within the city.
There is a set of stairs to get to the apartment, but the handle was sturdy and safe. There were no essential amenities like shampoo, although there was a bar of soap available. The shower provided a mere 10-minutes of hot water; and if a second person must shower, they have to wait over an hour for the water to come to a comfortable temperature.
The kitchen includes everything except an oven. There were coffee pods and sugar for a warm morning espresso (grateful for that).
The room has black-out curtains that make it comfortable to sleep in. There are plenty of warm blankets and comfortable pillows to keep warm in Porto's chilly weather. The toilet is seperate from the shower on the opposite side of the apartment, and that bathroom tends to be very cold since it has the only window in the apartment.
The neighbors are very nice, but be prepared for a wailing cat just outside the apartment. He's actually very cute and sweet when you meet it outside. He followed us to the door, but never ran inside the apartment. He just sits and gazes at you deeply.
Overall, our stay was great and the area is perfect. It's close to Douro river, and the neighborhood feels safe and walkable, even at night. Ilda was very sweet and responsive on Airbnb messages and Whatsapp. I used GoogleTranslate to communicate with her in Portuguese. I definitely would stay here again.
