    We can't point out anything negative.

    The autonomous check-in system was very convenient for us due to our late arrival in Porto. The host explained every step we had to follow very clearly in his messages. The room and bathroom exceeded our expectations! We didn't have time to use the kitchen but everything seemed okay.

    The location. It's far from the city center. Subway is recommend than going on foot. On our first day there, we went to the city center on foot and gps direction drove us from a road wth prostitutes.

    It was clean , very nice design, very comfortable, polite staff.

    The triple decker bunks were awesome. They did, however, really amplify when the person on the top made any movement. It could just be screwed(secured) to the wall, and it would be solved.

    Beautifu,l modern, and peaceful space. You feel you could live there.

    I had to leave due to my itinerary...

    I did not want to leave, it was super comfortable. Super convenient to get in and out with using pass codes, no giant key to haul around. Super convenient, 10 minutes from town center (and starbucks), a block away from a major supermarket or KFC. Clean, and well equiped kitchen. The owner was also super friendly. When i come back to Porto I am staying here.

    Be aware that the bunks are 3 storeys high so if you’re not ok with that then maybe don’t book :)

    Clean, great kitchen and nice lounging area. Was about 10-15min walk to town centre

    Too many beds in such a small space (three high bunk beds that shook if someone on the highest floor moved at night), no possibility to open the window (window low next to the sidewalk and noisy street) and stuffy in the room with a lot of people sleeping at night.

    The facility, staff and common space were perfect. Access to the facility is very good. The staff provided all the information and we received additional tips on places worth seeing in Porto. The organization of the common space is very good.

    One of my bunk bed neighbours was a very strong snorer. I felt hopeless at night. Eat plugs are a saver. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Sweet and swell was clean and comfortable. Has a kitchen with all the tools. Close to supermarket. Miguel was very welcoming and kind. The place felt very good
