The hosts were very friendly and gave us many tips for sites in Porto. The apartment was very nice and clean. There is no common area though, just a kitchen which surprised me, but it wasn't a problem at all. The location is great but one thing I have to mention is that there is a bar below the apartment and on 4 out of the 5 nights we were there the streets were filled with people until early morning. It wasn't a problem for us but it might be for some people. The windows help. Many great restaurants and bars close by. Would stay here again.
