Loving Chiado

Wonderful

  : Absolutely perfect. Wonderful apartment, clean and wonderfully located. We never met the owner, but they left bread in front of our door… Such a lovely gesture!
  : Maybe only the steep stairs to get into the room.

Disappointing

  : The property was very central in Chiado which made walking from place to place easy. There was also a door code making it easy access to get in.
  : The pictures advertised looked like all 6 places were beautiful, clean, and accommodating - with air conditioning. The place we stayed in was very far from the pictures. It was on the ground floor, which I should have read in more detail with booking (I didn’t feel very safe), that is on me. However, if you are looking to book this 1 of 6 locations from this person DO NOT book this ground floor location. The entire place is musty, the shower has mold. The furniture is worn and dirty and there was blood on the walls. The sheets looked clean but felt really gross. The only window that’s operable is on the entrance door, and someone took offense to us closing it when the streets were too loud and peed right outside the door. Unlike our other stays in Porto, the owner did not make an effort to check in with us, but was banging on the door 3 min before check out time. The “bread” offered for breakfast was stale. June is tourist season, so the price is “fair” for the amenities, but I would avoid staying here if possible.

  : The location is wonderful. We only needed to leave the condo to find lots of opportunities to get food. Also, only one or two streets away are the stairs at which you have a beautiful view of the city, the Rossio Square, and the cozy Largo do Carmo square.In the morning, the owner left a beautiful warm loaf of bread at the door.
  : At first it was difficult to know where the condo was located in the street. Maybe have a sign over the door, indicating arrival at the condo would be helpful. We were locked out when we came back from breakfast only a couple of minutes after 11am, the checkout time. We had to wait for the owner to come and let us in, which could have been problematic if we were hurrying to catch our plane. Also, we did not have a direct phone number to call. We had to contact the owner using email through Bookings.com, which slowed down getting connected.
