Very nice neighborhood in the city center full of restaurants bars and walking distance from all points of interest
N/A
The apartment was missing some key things essential for a long stay such as a chopping board, toilet brush (after 2 weeks I was able to ask housekeeping servicing another apartment for this), basic cooking ingredients (oil, sugar, salt/pepper) and basic cleaning supplies (dishwashing liquid, sponge). Also, only 2 coffee capsules were provided and there are no comfortable chairs for working at the table, only wooden stools. Although, the apartment seems to be quite new to being rented as all the saucepans and dishes still had the purchase stickers on them.
The airconditioner stopped working after one week and was not functioning for over a week and despite informing the landlord the day after this was discovered, I received little communication about when it would be fixed. Unfortunately this meant it was necessary to have the windows open for ventilation and the traffic, rubbish collection and nearby building noise was quite loud, especially for sleeping.
When I requested to extend my stay 2 extra nights, I was charged an inflated short stay rate, despite no extra housekeeping being required.
Nevertheless, I think most of the issues were due to the apartment being newly rented and otherwise, it is well appointed with the bed, linen and shower of excellent quality. It's also in a fantastic location! I would recommend staying here.
Great central location! I felt safe walking at night as it is a busy, well-lit area and the police station nearby. There are mini-markets just downstairs and lots of restaurants nearby. I would advise not to walk in the alleyway behind the apartment after dark.
It's a close walk to the bridge across to Gaia and the Jardim do Morro is amazing for sunset and special events. Praca Batalha nearby is a nice area for cafes, markets and free open-air cinema in the summer. Everywhere you want to go in Porto is within walking distance and in my opinion this is the best area to stay in Porto.
If you're looking for the PERFECT location, this is it. Walking distance to the Se Cathedral, Sao Bento Station, Douro River, 5 mins to Dom Luis Bridge, restaurantes, cafes, markets, and so much more.
From this flat you have access to EVERYTHING that Porto has to offer and you can walk to all of it.
