Historical Corner by Upperground

The location is in a narrow street in downtown. Around there are many cafe shops, bars, restaurants, market, boulangerie

Pros: Clean, large room, kitchen full of all necessary equipments, such microwave oven, coffee maker, freezer, trash bin, and many other kitchen ustensils. Very large bathroom with heatad radiator to dry cloth and towels. Aircondition in bedroom, and Large TV. Very quite environment. Except after 9 o’clock in the morning there are building construction noise just next to the rented room (Excepy saturday and sunday).

Cons: It was very tricky and difficult to find the street, building and room entrance keys. I’m 70 years old and there are several safe box hanged in the left bottom of the street enter door and many safeboxes fixed to right entrance wall. I search which one is the correct safe box, bcs there is not any mark on it. In the left side and over the walking stone there are 2 safe boxes. It is too difficult to bend and enter the correct password. It’s the first time on my life that I saw such safebox. I worked almost 30 minutes to open it. I sent an e-mail to administration but not had quick reply. I called them, but no one answered, just an automated message in Portugeese language. Finally I got a reply after I reached the keys. We stayed in the appartment totally 4 nights and in the room there was 2 bathroom towels, 2 face towels and one foot towel which was not sufficient for 4 days of logging. The TV was programmed to only one channel. I tried to reprogram it but not found any channels. The main room lights are very dimmed, it’s almost impossible to read a book. I suggest the administration to exchange bulbs with higher watts ones. The switch of one lamp next to the bed is defected and not usable. The toilet paper used is very thin and there was only 2 rolls in the WC. The bad cushions are very flat, for those who likes to sleep with head a little bid higher, you need additional cushions. I suggest to add more cushion in the room. No sleepers in the room. You need to bring yours.

Pros: The apartment was great and comfortable and located in a very convenient side of Porto. Staff was kind and useful.

Cons: The street is not the nicest and the location is a bit far away from the metro/tram.
