To quote my fellow reviewers, stop looking and start booking!
Ivan's chic, comfortable apartment is right in the heart of the Ribeira. The location is walkable to many wonderful restaurants, wine shops, river tours, the Palacio de Bolsa, and Sao Fransisco Church. Other must-see neighborhoods are a nice hike up the hill, or eaisly accessible by bus/Uber.
The two bedrooms are on the quiet, river side of the renovated building, and boast stunning views of the Ponte Dom Luis I Bridge, Gaia, and the Monastery above. On the main living side, the well appointed living space looks over Henry the Navigator Square; a lush green park topped with a statue of the Prince himself. Due to it's new construction, the apartment is one of the quietest I've stayed in. Ivan has really thought of everything; the kitchen is so well stocked with dishware and cooking supplies, you could cook daily, the bathroom has fluffy white towels and yummy local bath products, there's even a laundry rack for the balcony to clothes-pin your travel weary washing, just like the locals! I could have stayed here for a month, it was so comfortable.
Ivan is the consummate host; we chose four of his restaurant recommendations and were delighted with each. He even offered to pick us up from the train station.
Do yourself a favor, and choose this property for your stay in lovely Porto, Portugal.
