This is a beautiful apartment in the middle of a brilliant neighbourhood. It is close to a small supermarket and many bars and restaurants and shops. The apartment itself is well decorated, clean and comfortable and the shower is amazing. Really amazing. The walls are made of huge beautiful blocks of stone as you see all around Porto. It is very light and airy. The windows look over a courtyard at in the middle of the building and not over the street so there is no street noise. The bed is very comfortable. Sara gave us a great welcome and was very helpful allowing us to store our bags in a nearby shop as we had booked a very early flight and arrived hours before check in. This was very helpful and allowed us to explore the city without luggage.
Unfortunately on day two of our trip at 8am, workmen in the ground floor flat below began using a pneumatic drill into the stone directly below the bedroom making sleep or reading or even chatting, impossible. It appears that they do not work everyday and certainly not on Sundays. This wouldn’t be a problem if you intended to leave the apartment early to explore the city. Regrettably we had booked a weekend away to relax and catch up on sleep between busy jobs. Apparently the construction work is quite sporadic so it could be you are lucky when you stay here and are not disturbed. Alexandra, on behalf of Mark refunded us part of the cost of the accommodation.
