6/10
Location was very good - 5 minute walk to Bolhao metro station and 3 minutes to the Church of Souls and Rua de Santa Catarina. The 3 bedroom size was adequate for 5 people. While there were positives with this unit (location, communication with agency operating the unit, size), unfortunately I would not stay here again. There was a plethora of horrible black mold in both bathroom showers. It was worse in the shared bathroom than the en-suite bathroom, but it was significant either way. The smell of mold permeated throughout the entire unit. It was awful. We stayed 4 nights and purposely kept our clothes in our suitcases and did not use the closets because the they had a strong mold odor to them as well. Both showers also had extremely poor drainage. One had to either turn the water on and off while showering or have the flow at a trickle in order to avoid the shower pan from overflowing. I never contacted the agency while we were there - we decided to just deal with it and spend our precious days sight seeing. The beds were very hard with no padding whatsoever. There was no way to close the en-suite bathroom door from the inside, we think a pull cord was missing (there was a pull cord on the outside). It would be helpful to have instructions for washer/dryer combo in English and other languages. I have lived in very damp climates with mold. It happens. But you can clean it and manage it when you need to.
