  Great location and mostly functional unit.

  Great location in historical area of Porto. Had AC, washer / dryer, and a small kitchen. Decent size TV if one wants to stay in and watch a movie. Liked the outside patio and great space if it is not raining. It is semi-private. Only a few other units that have neighboring outside spaces. Host who was very friendly, did send list of places to visit and restaurants to try ... which was greatly appreciated. Overall decent place to stay and most of the things discussed below are minor.

  Everything was kind of run down. I'm a contractor so I have low tolerance for shoddy work (I'm biased). Fridge did not work so there was a small replacement fridge shoved on the counter. Had to move the fridge just to use the kitchen counter. Lettering on microwave was worn off, so took a while to figure out how it works. Flooring in the back bedroom was broken and gives a few inches. Washer and dryer are outside but do work, loads do take a while. Lighting is not real good and place is kind of dark. One bed was pretty comfy, other one kinda hard. For the cost I was expecting more. Biggest annoyance, in my opinion, is checking in and having to wait for someone to deliver a key. Door code and lock box would be much better. Also weird instruction about turning key too far in the lock would make current key not usable. No issues getting in and out, but strange.

  Great location and nice host but a little more extra touches would change from an okay stay to a great stsy 😏

  Great location

  Late check-in fee not mentioned when booking accommodation ! The external bedroom lacking in outside light before gaining access especially in the dark. Could do with some hooks for towels to dry after showering and the floorboards dipped in part of rooms and a trip hazard for some.

  Bene, non benissimo, però il terrazzo bello

  Ottima posizione, terrazzo spazioso

  Dalle foto e descrizione non avevamo capito che le camere erano completamente diverse, una molto grande, l'altra piccola. In due copie non è stato piacevole decidere chi avrebbe preso la camera piccola. Il benvenuto ottimo, poi però la comunicazione si è interrotta. Il giorno dopo avevo mandato un messaggio, nessuna risposta. Ho chiamato, nessuna risposta. Dopo che ho cominciato che abbiamo lasciato l'appartamento ho avuto la risposta.

  Schöne Terrasse, gute Lage und zwei separate Schlafzimmer.

  Eins der beiden Schlafzimmer ist relativ hellhörig, im Badezimmer fehlen Ablagemöglichkeiten/Kleiderhaken.
