NEW | Heaven's Gate Oporto - Private Garden & AC

The apartment was lovely, spacious, clean and generous in supplies from kitchen to towels as well as 2 good umbrellas- much needed. Heat was plenty and so appreciated in January. An excellent location with a small food market across the street which did nicely for the week. Good showers lots of hot water. Weather did not permit use of the deck but the tall patio windows.Lock box was a problem to open. Wifi code was an issue at the start. The host did not appear contrary to promise.

We enjoyed our stay but were disappointed with the backyard area. One of the reasons we had chosen this property was for the area to sit outside. The grassed area was very messy. The grass was weedy and long and the outer walls were dirty. The apartment was lacking places to hang towels, both hand towels and bath towels and didn't have anywhere to put your shampoo and soap, therefore you had to keep everything on the floor of the shower. They did provide a bottle of shampoo/soap, again on the floor but most people prefer to use there own anyway. Unfortunately the people upstairs were extremely noisy, running back and forth, vacuuming and banging until 11 pm every night. Other than that it was a clean apartment in a good location for walking to all the sites you would want to see. Check in was good and the owner was very quick to address any issues we had.

Safe area. Very comfortable beds. Easy to contact host.

Unfortunately this place turned out not as good as we’ve expected based on previous reviewed. Perhaps it was “exceptional” before but by now the place was run down and rather basic in comforts and amenities. There was a significant leak from under the kitchen sink every time we opened the faucet to wash the dishes. There was evidence of mildew in both showers and all the towels smelled mildewy as well.
