How good is it, really
7.3 out of 10 from 23 reviews. With that many stays behind it, one unhappy or delighted guest hardly moves the average, so it is a fair picture of what to expect.
525 of 549 in “Apartments in Porto”, ordered by score and review count together, so one guest's perfect 10 cannot outrank a 9.1 earned over two thousand reviews.
