Fabulous host, but apartment needs attention!

We have stayed at a number of VRBOs around the world, and this is the hardest review I've ever had to write because Pedro, the host, is just terrific, but the apartment, itself is not. Pedro is kind and exceedingly helfpful. He left a carafe of Port wine for us, and because he is a tour guide, had lists of things to do, restaurants, and more. He almost always responded to texts immediately, and his recommendations for a wine shop and dinner were excellent. The apartment is on the Douro River with fabulous views of the city. It is spacious and generally clean. Unfortunately, there were issues that I didn't communicate to Pedro because they weren't things that could be fixed while we were there. First, the photo of the view that caused me to book is misleading because it is taken from a much higher floor; the apartment is on the ground level. It was rainy and chilly the week we spent there, and the apartment was really cold, even with the heaters at the highest setting and use of the space heater in the living room. Other VRBOs in Portugal had inverter heaters that worked well, and we hope Pedro considers this option. The biggest problem was the mildew. The apartment was damp and mildew was everywhere--living room and kitchen ceilings, shower curtain, and couches and chairs. A loud automatic air freshener spurted every 20 minutes but it didn't solve the problem. With allergies and asthma, it was extremely unpleasant, and I hope Pedro can remediate this soon.

Schöne Wohnung mit fantastischer Aussicht auf die Altstadt, Porto den Duoro, Ponte Dom Luis

Vom Erstkontakt bis zum Abflug steht Pedro und seine Frau Rosario mit Freude und zuverlässig hilfsbereit zur Seite. Ein sehr sympathischer Vermieter, hoch engagiert, interessiert mit viel Herzblut. Was wir nicht wussten: Pedro ist von Beruf Touristguide. Also wer gerne auch geführt Porto und Umgebung besichtigt, unbedingt buchen! Pedro liebt sein Land uns seine Stadt und weiss, so macht es den Eindruck alles über die Geschichte Portugals und Porto. Er hat viele Tips , ein unglaubliches Wissen und Zuhören ist faszinierend und sehr interessant. Die Wohnung ist sehr zentral gelegen. Alles zu Fuss erreichbar. Wer lieber mit dem ÖV unterwegs ist hat Metro und Busse in unmittelbarer Umgebung. Wir waren zu Vier in der Wohnung und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Einkaufsläden und Bäckerei in der Nähe. Porto ist eine wunderschöne Stadt. Wir hatten 4 Tage gebucht. Einige der sehr tollen Tipps von Pedro konnten wir umsetzen. Es gäbe aber noch so viel mehr zu sehen, entdecken und geniessen. Wir werden ganz sicher wiederkommen. Danke Pedro und Rosario für Eure grosse Unterstützung.

Perle von Porto

Eine sehr schöne moderne 3-Zimmer-Wohnung mit kleinem Balkon und schönen Blick über Porto. Die City ist nur 10 Gehminuten entfernt. Uns hat es echt gefallen. Zwar ist es etwas hellhörig, aber das war schon ok. Für ein paar Tage super geeignet! Preis/Leistung ist super. Grüße an Pedro.
