Solar Studio Campanhã

Me gustó la ubicación y la amabilidad del anfitrión.

João, the studio's host, was fabulous. He was prompt in meeting me when I arrived and not only explained all of the features of the apartment thoroughly but also gave me information about Porto. The property also was within comfortable walking distance of the Ribiera, Gaia, and São Bento, as well as a five minute walk from the train station.

The bathroom sink drained very slowly. The room itself had no windows and only a small ventilation fan and smelled musty, an odor that got increasingly worse each time I took a shower. A bath mat that didn't dry contributed to the odor, which after three nights bordered on the smell of sewage.

La casa è vicinissima a stazioni metro/treno/autobus Non manca nulla e Joao (il nostro host) è stato gentilissimo e cordialissimo

Stanza un po' piccola (ma è comunque segnalato nella descrizione) Bagno non finestrato (ma con la ventola)

Good location, well connected with rest of the city. Very nice host, who give us great recommendations. Building is old, but accomodation is clean.

Easy access to many types of transportation. There were sufficient kitchen utensils.

We were on the top floor, but it was not possible to see outside from windows. The host made a lot of unnecessary explanations such as turning TV off and on, to whom the towels belong, how to open windows or not to splash water on electricity cooker. It might be of good intentions but we were tired and we know basic how to dos. There was a bad smell in the bathroom, the ventilation was not good.

Das dicas do anfitrião o que favoreceu os nossos deslocamentos. Utilizamos bem menos do metrô e caminhamos até o centro, conhecendo assim melhor a cidade.

A única coisa negativa é sem dúvida nenhuma a escada. O apartamento era no último andar mas, já tínhamos conhecimento e estávamos então preparados.

The apartment was super cozy, it is not huge but perfect for a couple, I especially liked the spacious kitchen table. There was also an espresso machine, which we could easily use. The location of the apartment exceeded my expectations: although it was not in the old town/Ribeira district of Porto, we were just two minutes away from the train station (Campanhã is friendly and calm), so we could easily use several options of public transport (bus, light rail, train), also, we could even reach the city center by foot. Being this close to the station, we could not only discover Porto comfortably but also explore the northern cities of Portugal, such as Braga and Guimarães. The host was punctual, helpful, gave us some nice tips and given our long stay, the apartment was thoroughly cleaned while we were at our favourite breakfast place (Padaria Molete Bread & Breakfast). Overall, I can happily recommend this apartment to others!

This is really just a minor issue, but it would be great if the dryer (for the wet clothes) could be changed; it is still usable, but broken in several places.
