I liked the enclosed porch on the back. Didn't like the barking dog. We didn't cook at all but it was nice to see that the cupboard was stocked with spices and other small necessities. It was nice to have the washer and soap. The clothes didn't dry very well on the rack. Would be nice if there was a dryer. Property was clean but musty. Black mold in the bathroom ceiling. I think it is just very humid in Porto so unless you have a dehumidifier going all the time it will be musty. Other places we were in were the same way.
