Liiiving in Porto - Cedofeita Charming Apartment

Location. Size of bed.

Not being able to find the cutlery, which is hidden below the dishwasher in a drawer within a drawer! it should be labelled. The bed was hard. It wasn't particularly clean, rugs stained and rather tired. It was totally unnecessary and disconcerting to receive a message on the final day threatening a 200 euro charge per hour for any overstay after 10.30am!

The apartment is great. It has everything you need, is close to most attractions without requiring transportation, with plenty of restaurants just a minute away and all amenities nearby

Be prepared to hear a lot of footsteps whenever someone in another apartment moves around or uses the stairs, especially from the unit above. You’ll also hear everything happening in the upstairs apartment when guests use the toilet or take a shower. The apartment also has the worst check-in and check-out times we've ever experienced. On our arrival, it was a rainy day, and we requested an early check-in (which we were willing to pay for), but it was denied. We were told the previous guests would leave at 11 AM, and the apartment wouldn’t be ready until 3:30 PM—apparently, it takes 4.5 hours to prepare an apartment 😉. After we booked, we received a message confirming the standard checkout time of 11 AM, which was fine. However, the day before we were due to leave, we received another message stating we had to check out by 10:30 AM or face a 200-euro fine for late departure. Also, please note that the apartment is located directly in front of five large garbage containers. Be prepared to hear people throwing glass bottles into them at all hours, as well as the loud truck that comes frequently to empty them. One last comment: please note that there is a luggage storage facility right next to the apartment (the one they mention is not free and is farther away). The nearby one costs the same, but they don't inform you about it. You can find it on Google Maps. It's the store just before the apartment

The apartment is modern and really nice decorated. The size is also perfect for two people. The towels were changed regularly. It was easy to reach someone in case of issues and it was fixed quickly. The location is great and lots of coffee places and restaurants around.

There was water dripping from the ceiling and not enough dishwasher tabs. The kitchen is not that well equipped. The frying pan can’t be used since it’s scratched. There is no cutting board and no dish towels. The washing machine and dryer combination is not that well working. The clothes are not drying well. There is no washing wreck which makes it hard to dry the clothes in this apartment.
