Everything was excellent. Great communication. Awesome location. For those not used to climbing stairs it is four flights and a steel set of stairs to the upper bedroom - but this is normal in Europe and especially in the older parts of town. Highly recommend it. We loved it!

The location is fantastic! Close to everything and we felt safe walking in the area. We were very nervous with the keys but didn’t lose them. Doors were a bit finicky, especially the exterior door. We did not realize that the unit was up on the fourth floor and it was a bit challenging to get our bags up when we arrived. But we managed. The upper bedroom has extremely steep stairs which were not a problem for us but could be for some people. We were unaware to this.

Location is fantastic, entry to the property and communication was smooth, however I wouldn’t choose to stay here again. Space feels worn and far worse - Daughter woke with bed bug bites! None of the mattresses or pillows are encased, which is clearly part of the issue. Porto is gorgeous and certainly worth the visit, but find somewhere else to stay!!

Check-in process was an issue, as codes for lock box weren't provided correctly. Description of unit did not note that the king bed was on a second floor with an extremely treacherous staircase. Instructions for the unit were not provided ahead of time and manual for the unit itself, including how to use the heat was falling apart. Heating unit in treacherous king bedroom was moldy smelling and couldn't be used. Unit was clean- is the only nicest thing I can say. Wouldn't return.

The best thing about this property was the location within the city. It is indeed very close to the historic centre, so for being outside and touring the city it is excellent. The owners are also very helpful and respond quickly, which is a highlight. Unfortunately, the listing is not very clear about many things regarding the amenities of the property. For one, it is at the top of 4 flights of stairs, while the laundry machines are at the bottom of the building. As well, the second floor bedroom is at the top of a very steep staircase, not shown in pictures. A mid-night washroom trip would not be easy. Finally, the word ‘apartment’ seems to be a more apt description than ‘duplex,’ at least to me. With regards to the state of the property, it was not particularly clean when we arrived, and all the sheets and towels were damp. Luckily they had extras which we used instead.Additionally, the hot water is very inconsistent. Sometimes it will jump from burning hot to cold without you even moving the faucets. Next, the property is also much smaller than it seems in the pictures. As well, there was constant daytime construction in the building right beside us throughout the whole of the stay. It didn’t seem close to being finished when we left. This is not something in the control of the property’s owners, but nonetheless it should be mentioned.

Location was fantastic, everything was clean. The apartment is on the 4th floor so there are quite a few stairs to go up. We only had 1 small carryon with us so it wasn’t an issue but it would be difficult for a family with children and large luggage. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic location, the property had everything we needed, and was clean and tidy. The staircase in the building as others have mentioned does have a distinct ‘lived in’ smell, but I would absolutely not let this put you off booking this property, as it is literally only the main staircase that is affected.

The property was clean, well-equipped, and in a good location. We wished the laundry situation had been explained in advance, as it required walking down 4 flights of stairs to a shared building laundry space, because of that, we chose not to use it. Overall, though, the space itself was comfortable.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Pros-1. Location is fabulous2. owner responded quickly to our questions. Cons-1. it was hard to get a good night sleep because of early morning street noise, rough sheets/ lumpy pillows w hairs on the pillow, Loud squeaky, sticky doors if anyone else in the condo got up to use the restroom2. Difficult layout for more than 2 people. The upstairs loft is very challenging to access. It’s up a tight staircase that is dangerous especially in the middle of the night. For that reason we had to put our younger son in the family room. 3. advertised as having washer and dryer, but it fails to clarify that both are down 4 flights of stairs 4. Host indicated parking was easy and available. This was not the case. The Porto traffic in this area is extremely intense and it took us 30mins to locate a spot for our small rental car. 5. advertised as having everything you need but there were no paper towels or paper, napkins, or anything to be able to clean up or eat with. Not even Kleenex. We ended up leaving aftet 1 night to stay in a hotel for the rest of our time in Porto.

As others mentioned, this duplex is located in a great part of the city and there are good restaurants nearby. The place is comfortable and was good for two friends staying together. The negatives: the bathroom was small, the stairs to the loft with the second bed were extremely steep, and navigating large suitcases up the four flights can be challenging. Additionally, we did not get entry information ahead of our arrival date.

We Did Not Stay

We did not stay. Stairs were wicked for carrying luggage. 4 story walk up. Very steep treads and very dark. One of the other units had a smoker and this unit smelled of residual smoke. Dog barking constantly in the unit next door. Laundry in the basement was not mentioned anywhere. Nothing like we expected. Turned around and walked out. Found another place to stay.
