Wonderful

  : The outside is unassuming but the apartment has been very well done and was really nice. Laundry was nice to have. We even made dinner ourselves one night which was a nice break from eating out all the time.

  : They had really nice welcome package waiting us. It was very clean and new. Nice balcony and quiet street so easy to sleep.
  : The A/C did not heat right, I messaged the host and they sent people to look at it but it didn't change/worked right. We would have probably got someone to look at it again but we found another small heater and realised we will make it well with that one.

  : The bathroom could be a little bit cleaner :)

  : Perfect location for accessing all the major attractions and points of interest in Porto. Spacious and on a quiet street, only a few minutes from tons of restaurants.
  : Would be nice to have a fan in the bathroom.

  : The door code it doesnt work and finally we had to go to the office and they give us a key. We found a lot of hairs on the bathroom wall. :(

  : The apartment is nicely furnished, clean, comfortable and quite well-equipped. (We couldn't find the cutlery etc at first-it's in a "secret grey drawer" under the hotplates-not used to such modern kitchens)It was nice to have a little balcony. The kitchen area is modern and there's a kettle, coffee-machine and washing-machine. We really liked the area. It is not very touristy and easy to walk around. There are plenty of bars and restaurants (Highly recommend Protest Kitchen just a few doors down for great food and coffee) within easy walking distance plus a supermarket just round the corner and fantastic vintage clothes shop on the end of the street. It's about a 15-minute walk to the Clergios Tower, where you can easily get trams, buses etc but we walked to the river a few times from there. It's about a 10-minute walk to the metro stop in the other direction. Porto is quite steep in places but the area near the apartment is quite flat, which we appreciated! I would recommend the apartment if you are looking for a quieter, less touristy area which still has plenty of facilities.
  : The instructions to get into the flat were a bit confusing-it took us a while to work out what 1o Dto Frt meant and there is more than one apartment with a key-code pad.(Apartment is on first floor in the corner opposite the lift) We were rather unlucky with the weather over Easter and it was unusually cold and wet (obviously no ones's fault!) and the apartment was really cold. The small electric heater was not adequate and the AC does not work as a heater. It was also difficult to dry off due to the lack of heating and we got soaked a couple of times. There are plenty of blankets so we slept ok. There was a slightly damp smell around the bedroom area. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with the communication with the managers. I had a medical emergency and was unable to fly at the last minute so asked if we could possibly help us find alternative accommodation since we knew the apartment was booked. The answer was basically "Sorry, no". I know it wasn't their problem, but I could have used a hand.
