Apartment in the historic center of Porto - With a beautiful and large terrace

Fabulous apartment Lovely clean apartment in walkable distance to the old town. The outside terrace was a great space and the apartment is extremely well equipped. Jeronimo and Leo were very helpful.The apartment is on a noisy street with 24 hour traffic hence the lower score for location. A great few days in Porto.

Porto Lovely apartment with a fabulous patio space. The apartment is located in an ideal spot for walking or taking public transportation to see the fabulous city of Porto.

Looks can be deceiving The apartment was fairly well appointed with necessary kitchen, bathroom & bedroom supplies. It does look stylish and modern. However, there are problems with the apartment. The main issues were the lack of heat in the apartment and the bad location.The water heater is not "on demand" but rather a 20 gallon (1/2 size) water tank. It is not sufficient for 4 adults to all shower in the morning. The wall heater unit in our bedroom did not work at all and the heater in the other bedroom barely warmed up. The host did respond quickly and came by on the second day - to tell us that the heater was indeed broken and it would take 15 days to get the replacement. No heater was supplied for the remaining 2 days.The apartment is outside of the central tourist area, not far from the restaurants etc. but certainly not in a touristy area. There were street workers (ladies of the ...afternoon) on the street. I was propositioned twice by different women. We did not feel unsafe in the day time, but we only went out in the evening once because our spouses did not feel safe. There were also several fights in the alleys/streets each night, with yelling and occasionaly police. We saw at least one drug deal take place each day. Since it was not the kind of location we wanted to walk through, we ended up spending a lot of money on Ubers to come and go quickly.The road in front of the apartment is paved in cobblestones and this made for a lot of noise when traffic went by.

The property was nice and close to the places we wanted to go.
