Santa Catarina Downtown II

We had no noise issues at all, even though the place is on a lively street and within walking distance of everything. The owner was friendly and helpful, and our room was both cozy and beautiful. All in all, a very pleasant stay.

The bed was very comfortable, with just the right firmness, and my spacious room faced a side street, so outside noise wasn’t an issue. I did hear noise from the common areas inside. The guesthouse was newly renovated, very clean, and well kept, including the shared spaces. Check-in and checkout were easy. There’s a roomy kitchen with all the equipment needed to cook a good meal, and the room is cleaned every three days. Shops, restaurants, and other places to go are an easy walk away in central Porto. I’d book here again.

The room had a view, and we really enjoyed having the space. It’s very central and in a perfect location, though the walls are paper-thin.

My flight was canceled the day before because of a workers’ strike, but they still charged me the mandatory penalty. They stick to their policies and don’t listen to clients. I’d look for somewhere else.
