Host Wise have been excellent to deal with. They have responded quickly to any questions and communication overall has been excellent.
The apartment itself was advertised as luxury accommodation. In summer that may have been so, but in winter it was cold and draughty as the french doors didn't quite shut properly and the heat pump wasn't coping. There was no double glazing. The kitchen was well equipped.

The ensuite shower needs a good scrub around the bottom of the doors and in the grouting.

Neighborhood
Rua da Boa Vista is a great central location. It is very close to the metro and bus service. One is able to walk into the Rebeira if wanting a longer exledition. Cedofeita is very close and has some good restaurants. The street itself is a major thoroughfare and is noisy, both with traffic and people.

Recommended places nearby
Cedofeita is a nice area and I wished we had discovered it sooner.
Lapa metro is a 4 minute walk which opens up the whole of Porto and all there is to see.
There is a nice foodhall at the band rotunda, Mercado Bom Success.
Parque de Cidade is a bus ride down the Avenue da Boa Vista if one is needing trees and green space.

The landlord, Hostwise, required us to pay rent starting October 1, 2021 when we arrived October 24th. They then rented it during the time before our arrival to others thus collecting double rent. They agreed to reimburse us 576 Euros which they have not done. They also kept our 770 Euro deposit after emailing us it would be returned, and collected 133 euros extra for our last months rent.

We have tried numerous times to get things resolved with both the landlord and Flatio with no success. We found out about Flatio from a facebook group about expats in Portugal and have warned everyone about what happened to us, will be filing with the complaint system in portugal and going to an attorney next. How sad. We were great tenants, taking excellent care of the apartments and giving numerous opportunities to make this right.

We would not recommend working with the Landlord, Hostwise, or with Flatio as they did nothing to resolve these issues.

Neighborhood
The apartment in Porto is located on a small street with a bar 3 doors down. It is very, very loud until 4 in the morning.

Great room, and location. Lack of renewed bedding and limited cleaning schedules but for the price it's worth it.
