Art City Villa

Het was erg groot en schoon.

Er was niet echts iets wat niet beviel. Ik dacht alleen dat er 3 verdiepingen waren met op elke verdieping een tweepersoonsbed. Maar in principe zijn alledrie de kamers op dezelfde verdieping. Zelf niet goed gelezen blijkbaar.

Property located in a good Location. Bus stops and metro station close by which is super handy. There are some nice cafes and restaurants around the square which is go to know. Loved the fact that when we reported a broken toilet seat and a dodgy wardrobe door in the double bedroom Goncalo was called and had someone round to fix it the next day. Goncalo was the epitome of a great host he even carried our suitcases up the stairs with ease. There are 41 alone from the front door to the floor where bedrooms are. I love the fact that you do not need the keys to enter it is by key code. No chance of losing the key. Aside from the lows below we enjoyed our stay.

Though property is in a narrow side street the street is in constant use day and night making it nigh on impossible to sleep. There is no mention of this anywhere though it does say to keep your noise down between 11pm and 7am which is funny considering the motorbikes blasting up the road on full throttle, the loud chatter and the screaming and singing from those walking by at all hours. We were left with one tea towel, a low cost sponge scourer, and a third of a full size j cloth. There was one shelf in the cooker which is odd and there was no oven glove. The cutlery drawer was great but the cooking knives were rather blunt. The microwave plate was missing and there was no sign of a toaster. We could not work out how to work the extractor for the cooker although the pipework was there. The cd player was broken too which was a shame. We have stayed in various places and this is the first place we stayed in that had no welcome pack. We did not expect much but usually there is salt and pepper, washing up liquid, tea (there were a few coffee pods and a machine) but sadly the machine leaked There were no instructions on how to use the washing machine or even a note to say where your nearest garbage bin was located and when garbage was collected or even a broom. There is a dustpan and brush. Also where we have stayed previously there is a booklet or notes regarding which bus stop goes where and maps. The QR code thing is new to us we are rather old school and the written/typed word was sadly missed. Beware the electrics. One of the outside lights on the top balcony does not work same as the bedside light in the left hand bedroom. Sadly no where does it say they have no Netflix account so do not forget to bring your own or borrow someones. There are a lot of stairs!!!!!

Groß, sauber, gemütlich. Man fühlt sich sehr willkommen.

Spacious and beautiful. Thoughtfully designed and elegant. Okay location - a little rundown but close to the metro and the main centre of Porto.

The apartment needs refurbishment desperately - one cupboard door was broken. There was no hot water and the technicians took half a day to fix it. The bedrooms need air-conditioning. It gets very warm. Lastly, they need to install a lift. Carrying luggage up the stairs is a nightmare.
