Home truths:
*This apartment is located on the first floor of a building with no lift, so you'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance.
*The bathroom is at the end of the kitchen, so it's not the most practical layout.
*There's no air-conditioning, but your host provides fans.
*The dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*There's no washing machine or dryer here.
*Parking in Porto can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
