This place was in a perfect location right in the midst of the best sights in Porto and very close to a major train station (10min walk to São Bento). It is about 15-20 min walk from the waterfront and less than 10 min walk from a bunch of other amazing places including several beautiful cathedrals. It’s also close to some restaurants and a grocery store. Communication with the hosts was pretty easy and they were very kind and helpful when we had a brief power outage in the neighborhood. The AC was lovely to have, the kitchen was well stocked, and the bathroom was very clean.
We did seem to have a slight issue with the bathroom sink drain (it got stuck in the closed position and we weren’t able to figure out how to open it) and the TV volume seemed to be set so that you couldn’t raise it above a certain level (though it’s possible we missed something). One thing that threw us off about the checkin process is that the place is listed as being on the first floor, but it’s actually upstairs from the floor that you walk into off the street (ground floor). The place also didn’t come stocked with a lot of toilet paper (they only had 2 small rolls when we went in). The bed was also extremely firm and not the most comfortable.
That said, the kitchen was super well stocked, they provided nice towels, the shower worked great with excellent water pressure, and the Wifi was excellent.
