My friends and I found that it was a wonderful space and the N Apartments team are very friendly and really helpful (in particular, Barbara was really nice and very helpful throughout the process).
Checking in:
The N Apartment team were very helpful throughout our stay. We arrived in Porto very early and were permitted to leave our bags in the N Apartment Reception whilst the apartment was being cleaned from the last guests. This enabled us to explore the city straight away. The door to the apartment has a numbered pass code which you receive beforehand, which was very slick! The building also has a lift, which helps!
The rooms:
Three of the four bedrooms are en-suite with the second to last room having a separate bathroom. The last room (which has two single beds joined together) is the largest and ideal for couples. It also has a bathtub whereas all other toilets have a shower. Every room has shutters that are operated by buttons next to the light switch (allowing them to go all the way down can literally black out the room - it's amazing!). Every room has air conditioning, which is also amazing in the heat!
Kitchen/Living room:
The kitchen had a great range of utensils to be able to cook for a group of five. The dishwasher was a lifesaver and there's plenty of space in the cupboards for any food you may purchase. The fridge/freezer are of a decent size, just be sure to check the temperature setting after you've put stuff in. The living room is a great open space with plenty of seating and a great round table that is suitable for meals and playing games. It should be noted that there currently isn't a smart TV, so be sure to bring a laptop with adaptive wires (TV has a USB input option, so may work with a Firestick/Chrome).
Location:
The apartment is in a great location and it's very easy to walk into the centre. It's a 15 min walk to the Reception and Porto is very hilly, so if you're carrying large luggage, dress appropriately! Local shops include cafes and bars, as well as shopping centres nearby and a central shopping area filled with daily performances in the Portuguese sun!
Areas of improvement:
The floor boards can be quite creaky so it can feel a little awkward when walking across the apartment, which is also not ideal for light sleepers.
Overall:
Overall, it was a beautiful apartment and was perfect for my friends and I who spent the majority of our time outside exploring the city. The apartment and N Apartment team were lovely throughout our stay. The apartment itself is wonderful and was set up to be a very accommodating stay.
