My husband and I stayed here for eleven days and were very happy that we chose this vacation rental.
We needed a place to park our rented car so it was wonderful to have a garage. The apartment is quite unique. It is actually underneath the garage, so a few steps below street level. However, descending the stairs from the garage one finds oneself in a small oasis of a garden complete with two koi ponds. It was a delight to open the blinds each morning and have this lovely garden in front of us.
The apartment itself is interesting and it is apparent that Jorge has exercised his creativity in its construction. It is not the usual utilitarian IKEA furnished condo. It has been made to use the space very cleverly and furnished with ārealā furniture.
It is true that the shower is tiny, but the water is hot and plentiful. We used the clothes washer, stove, oven and dishwasher with no problem. We appreciated that the apartment was cleaned and linens changed midway through our stay.
The apartment is away from the busy old city, and it was in a very quiet location. The market at the end of the street was very handy. The tourist Centre of the old city was within a half hour walk, but we found that taxis in Porto are very reasonable and used them often.
Jorge returned our damage deposit very promptly and was quick to answer our emails.
All in all, a very happy experience!
