I had to think about that! I just remembered that i really didnt like it.
Now I think of why, it's because I had a really awful experience there.
It was a person that put me off Porto, when I shouldn't let a person put me off a place.
I had a bad hotel experience.
I arrived in Porto, all excited. I was doing Solo travel.
I had booked a hotel room on booking com.
I got there, it turned out to be an apartment. Owner was away and he was letting the rooms out.
He emailed me a self check- in code to get in at the front door and a code for the room.
I let myself into the bedroom.
I was changing, and stark naked. When this Portuguese woman burst in and shouted at me that she was going to call the police on me.
Apparently she was running the place, and the owner hadn't told her I was coming.
And she didn't bother to ring him to ask, when she saw me. Or even ask me!
She shouted and shouted at me. I said I had paid to stay there. AndI said sure I had the code To get in. How would i get in if i hadnt paid.
She said "people have shared those codes out to their friends in the past"
She shouted and shouted at me that she was going to call the police. She was nuts
. Eventually I managed to get through to the owner and he told her I'd paid to stay there.
But I was just really shaken, and it left me with really bad memories of Porto.
Also after that, I met a couple of other nasty people in other parts of Porto.
So it was the people really that put me off the place
