How good is it, really
8.5 out of 10, over 396 reviews. One guest's good or bad night will hardly move an average that size, so the score reflects the usual experience.
In “Apartments in Porto” it ranks 228 of 549, sorted by score and number of reviews together, so a perfect 10 from one guest does not outrank a 9.1 from two thousand.
