  : During our trip to Europe we stayed at 5 other places so we had lots to compare to. This apartment was not as hospitable and clean as some of the others but it was definitely a good bargain (especially for large families). I think a bit more care could be taken to the cleanliness of the showers other than that, everything else was clean and acceptable. The bathroom does have an odor as some other reviewers indicated but it was not terribly bad; could easily be fixed by putting automatic air fresheners throughout the unit (or diffusers) and toilet fresheners in the toilets. With a few tweaks to make the place more homey, the apartment could be exceptional, but for now it is just decent and acceptable.
  : Parking is a bit difficult in the area but the host did give me an alternative to park at a nearby hotel at a cost of $15 (but on our way back to the unit we actually found a spot after paying at the hotel ).

  : the taxes were not included and for some reason they would not charge taxes on our credit card on file.

  : It is a huge apartment, so perfect for a big group. For the size and location, it has a very fair price. Four big rooms and two bathrooms, old building, but renovated. Everything was clean and the beds were pretty comfortable. It does look like the pictures.
  : Although it is a renovated apartment, it has some inconveniences that come with old buildings. The bathrooms dont have locks, the floor squeaks and you can hear everything from the other rooms. I think it could have more attention to details. The bathrooms were out of soap and it didnt have any coffee. Usually hosts do offer such things.

  : The apartment is located near metro and buses, or 30 minutes walk from Praa do Comrcio if you prefer, in a calm area.It is big and clean. We spent 5 days and didn't have any issues regardless of the time of the day or night. There are some good and not expensive restaurants near by. I recommend Alto Minho.There are 4 rooms and 2 bathrooms. It could accept 8 people, but, the kitchen/dining room might not be big enough to accommodate a dinner for so many peopleWe were 4 and all of us found the mattresses really great.
  : Nothing really to complain about

Disappointing

  : The property accommodated our group with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It was supplied with clean towels and sheets. We were met on arrival and the host was very helpful in arranging an airport and train transfer.
  : The eating area was very small and we could not access seats without someone getting in and out. While a coffee machine was provided there were no pods, nor was there any tea or sugar. There was a very limited supply of cups, plates and glasses. There was no dishcloth or tea towel nor was there a plug for the kitchen sink. Hot water was in limited supplies resulting in cold showers. No cloths rack was supplied. Cupboard handle fell of as did the doors of cupboards in two of the bedrooms. No handwash was provided in the bathroom.
