I wholeheartedly recommend a stay in Porto for anyone who hasn't been & also would definitely recommend staying at this apartment. It's a great base for a few days. a week or even longer for a couple. We have stayed at the apartment twice and love the location, close to the train station, cafes, bars & restaurants, Bolhao market & the supermarket (Pingo Doce - a really nice supermarket with pretty much everything you might need). The terrace is a really nice place to relax & the apartment is bright and airy. It is just as seen in the photos. Gundage & Antonio are good hosts - very helpful & they give useful tips of things you can do in Porto or as side trips nearby for the day. There are some lovely places you can visit by train within 90 mins of Porto, for example Braga, Aveiro, & Guimarães - they are all great places to visit for the day & you are a 10 minute walk from Sao Bento train station at the apartment - a real bonus. This area is very "authentic" in the sense that it is not overly touristic, & it gives you a nice insight into the "real" Porto. You are very close to pretty much everything you might want to see in Porto, or otherwise to public transport - bus/ tube to get to places slightly further afield.
