Overall this was a good stay. The riverfront, Cockburnâs & a fantastic Fado restaurant is within easy walking distance Our choice of room was double-booked & we were given the larger house. The ac had been turned off because the nights were cool. The problem was the day was very warm & the house was stuffy and we were told that we couldnât leave the door open. The owner turned the ac on later in the night & it was very pleasant afterward.
There were three flats and ours did not have the 55m2 said. It was about 32m2. When 16 young spaniards did have a grill party Friday night, there was no cleaning afterwards. I was afraid of rats so I spend one hour Saturday morning to clear up the left mess (with bones on the floor and bread in beer lakes). Wednesday someone cleaned the court.
The advertisement said the hosts would speak English. At place there was the mother of the host who only spoke Portugese. We had communication problems. I could not reach the English speaking hosts.
In the beginning there were some technical problems which were solved at the same day. The central heating didnât function during our stay!! There was a stand alone heater but that was only enough for the living room. It was too cold in the bathroom and the kitchen. We asked for another heater but that would give problems with the capacity of the electricity. The owner shouldnât rent the house in winter without a functioning central heating!
Sehr freundliche, hilfsbereite Vermieter, saubere und gemĂŒtliche, zweckmĂ€Ăig eingerichtete Unterkunft.
Die Lage ist ideal, man ist in 10-15 Min. zu Fuss in der Altstadt.
Alles in allem empfehlenswert und unkompliziert.

The property was very clean and tidy and paulo/teresa great
Paulo/teresa are very friendly and helpful. Local grocery store up the street with super food, reasonable wine prices. Large super market 15 min walk. Apt is close to the port factories, river cruises and within walking distance of the old town. Great restaurant just down the street. You must be in good shape for walking, Gaia & Porto are quite hilly. All in all a good visit . paul/wendy, lambton shores, ON canada.
