Pros: - Great location close to everything, nice views from the apartment - Lots of room, high ceilings, large wardrobes - Exemplary multi-zone AC for comfort - Welcoming and easy to reach hosts, welcome port 😃 - Enough consumables to get by for a while, not just a token amount
Cons: The interior designer favored form over function, sadly - Transparent en-suite walls is always a questionable choice, but it’s very out of place in an apartment hosting more than a couple and having direct line of sight to the nearby market’s terrace (fortunately there was a normal bathroom to use) - Bedside tables are small, lack drawers and there’s not enough sockets - The living room table light is massive…and provides so faint light it’s essentially useless

Nice apartment
Pros: Good location, bright and spacious apartment with great views, comfy bed and well-equipped kitchen, easy check-in and access to codes, friendly and helpful staff. I also liked that the bedroom was facing towards the other side of the building, which made it quiet.
Cons: Cleaning could be better. There were some hair trimmings left in the basin! The shower is not water proof, lots of water runs out when showering and the bathroom could generally do with a deep clean. Also, there is a restaurant right opposite the living room, so there is not a lot of privacy. They are on the same level as the apartment (2nd floor). We had to keep the shutters closed, otherwise the people look right into your room!

Pros: The apartment was clean, spacious, and full of natural light. The shutters on the windows meant that the apartment was not noisy at night-time, despite the central location.
Cons: As pointed out by another guest, it was hit and miss whether the lights would come on in the stairwell

Pros: We liked the size and location of the apartment. The kitchen was well set up for cooking. The bottle of port was a nice touch. Communication about our arrival was very good.
Cons: We arrived at night and the entry was quite dark. The stairwell light didn't come on until we were halfway up the first set of stairs.

A lovely stay in a generously proportioned apartment in Porto.
Pros: Lovely apartment on the top floor overlooking the square. The apartment is on two floors with 2 bedrooms and two bathrooms below and kitchen and lounge area above with a private terrace to the front upstairs. Very spacious with a modern feel and plenty of light. Nia gave us a very good introduction when we arrived. The location means you're not more than 5 to 10 minutes walk to most of 'old Porto' . Quite a lively spot so the sound level from outside is as you would expect - not intrusive though with the windows closed. It's not a negative but visitors should know that the apartment is a fair climb on the stairs - 6 flights I think- and there is no lift. Overall, a very nice stay. Thanks Nia and Ines.
