How good is it, really
51 reviews have scored this place 8.6 out of 10. That is a large enough base that a single rave or complaint barely shifts it, so the number holds up.
In “Apartments in Porto” it ranks 249 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.
