How good is it, really
51 reviews have scored this place 8.9 out of 10. That is a large enough base that a single rave or complaint barely shifts it, so the number holds up.
By score and number of reviews together, it takes 154 of 549 in “Apartments in Porto”: a lone 10 weighs less than a 9.1 from a couple of thousand guests.
