인아파트먼트 - LSD

El apartamento está muy bien ubicado, pero tiene varias incomodidades: la cama está empotrada en un espacio tan estrecho que no puedes entrar y salir de ella por los costados, por lo tanto no hay mesitas de noche. Los contactos para conectar tus aparatos están en lugares poco accesibles. La ducha mide .70 x .70, por lo que no es toda una odisea agacharte a recoger el jabón si se te cae. Y para colmo no tuvimos servicio de internet la primera tarde y la primera mañana.

It was very noisy. Late night and early morning traffic and people kept us up, but it was very conveniently located

We stayed at this property during our road trip through Portugal. The place was perfectly located. Walkable to the river and other nearby restaurants. Great size for our family. We did not know we had booked our stay for the time during São João and there was a DJ right below our window all night. It was fun to see all the lively people during this time but the late night DJ playing was definitely a different experience. Since the apartment did not have AC, and the DJ was playing until 5am, we could not open the windows to let the fresh air in. The apartment did not have a fan so it was very hot and stagnant while trying to sleep. I was able to contact them, but because of the festival, we could not get a fan until the next day. Having a fan the second day (and no DJ below us) was definitely a better sleep. It wasn’t the apartment’s fault, but definitely did not know there was no AC. So just be aware. And ensure to message them before to ensure there is one. Other than that, it was an amazing experience in Porto. We loved the festival and seeing all people in town, the lanterns and fireworks. It was definitely an experience we did not even know would happen. And it made our trip to Portugal unforgettable!

As others have said, the location is wonderful but also on a very noisy street. There is no air conditioning, so if it is hot while you are there, it is difficult to sleep at night since the noise means closing the windows. The layout of the apartment is its worst feature. It's like a long narrow bowling alley with zero lighting in the kitchen: nothing overhead, no lights under the kitchen cabinet/shelves to see when cooking. There also are zero knives other than butter knives, not even one serrated knife to cut a baguette. And no drying rack for washed dishes to dry (there is no dishwasher, which is fine, but then there really needs to be a little drying rack). I can't remember if my reservation called the room a one-bedroom (we were on floor 1) but the bedroom isn't separate from the living area (there's a wall partitioning one side but then it's open to the living room) so it's really a studio apartment, not a one-bedroom: no privacy between those who are sleeping on the main bed and those who are sleeping on the foldout couch.
