Sendme2Portugal: Santa Catarina

Pros: Great location. Spotless and so easy to deal with ..would highly recommend

Cons: Everything was perfect

Great apartment in a great location.

Pros: The location was great. It was in the heart of the shops, restaurants etc but still managed to be a quiet haven from the bustle. The apartment was well equipped and had everything that we needed. We slept very well. We liked the balcony and enjoyed the outdoor space.

Cons: The apartment wasn't particularly big but it was well designed and everything was fitted in. The sofa was a bit uncomfortable and there was very little work top space in the kitchen.

Pros: Great apartment with an outside terrace. So many things provided. Fantastic location in Bolhoa. Recommendations for restaurants and places to see. Well priced, especially for the location. We highly recommend a stay here and if we returned we would definitely stay again.

Pros: Great location, close to public transport,shops and restaurants

Cons: No manuals for electrics( airco,stove,coffeemaker,.... )

Very central location in Porto

Pros: Very nice, bright apartment, great location. As soon as we exited the Bolhao metro station, which is a few steps from the apartment, we came across the famous Church of the Souls. It is very easy to walk everywhere from here. There are many restaurants, bakeries and shops for last minute souvenirs. We stayed on the 3rd floor. It faces the back of the building so it was very quiet despite being on a very busy street. There is a separate bedroom with a small heater, a separate dressing room/storage area (near the front door), a good sized shower and a living area. It has basically everything you need for a short stay; basic toiletries, coffee machine, kettle, toaster, microwave, mini fridge and oven in the kitchen. There is even a built-in radio system that you can control from the wall. Communication with the host was smooth and the check-in instructions were very clear. We had no problems at all.

Cons: Well, the sofa is dated and not comfortable enough to even sit on to watch TV. There is a pillow underneath that smells really bad (probably put there before it was completely dry and mold has formed). The blanket on the bed was still damp when we got into the apartment which caused a bad smell so we put it on chairs to get it out into the open air. The foyer of the apartment feels stuffy because all the spare cribs, comforters etc. are stocked along with a cabinet by the front door. I found it quite annoying to have to clean when leaving the apartment while on holiday. The owner asks you to wash the dishes, empty the bins and throw the trash bag in the bin which is located in the back road behind the building and this is not the best experience when you are leaving with your bags etc after washing your hands

A very comfortable apartment in the best possible Porto location

Pros: Fantastic, central location. Lots of bakeries, bars, restaurants, shops and even a market within 3 min walking distance yet despite that, the apartment is fairly quiet for what's practically the main shopping street. Underground is very close as well and a major bus stop a few minutes away. The whole apartament was cosy and rather on the smaller side but arranged so well that you didn't feel cramped at all. A lot of smart storage and furniture solutions for a very comfortable stay. The terrace is spacious and comes with a lot of garden furniture. The whole interior was spotless and well designed. If you're staying for longer: there's no washing machine inside the apartament but an automatic laundry is just round the corner.

Cons: There was nothing I didn't like.

Great base for a great city stay.

Pros: Fantastic location for exploring a beautiful city. The owner was very helpful and accommodating. Very nice , comfortable, well equipped appt. Would stay again if we were to return.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Great location for exploring Porto. Hosts were great with communication and sent suggestions of things to see and restaurant recommendations. It was nice to have the terrace area. The apartment was plenty big enough for three of us and had everything we needed.

Cons: Lovely to have the outside space, it could do with a little tidy up and lighting.

Pros: Perfectly located, everything is reachable walking distance. Great sound proof windows which help a lot since the apartment is on a busy street. The hosts are absolutely amazing, they sent us a long list of recommendations which were all great.

Perfect - we would definitely recommend to our friends

Pros: The apartment was lovely, it felt like a home away from home and was well equipped with a coffee machine, kettle, WiFi and television. The little ‘welcome’ port was lovely too. The location was great, the road we were on was very central with lots of food and drink options right next door, without being too noisy at night.

Cons: Nothing - it was great!
