We had a wonderful stay at Carla’s apartment in Porto. The location was excellent- right along the river and walkable to many of the main sights as well as restaurants and bars. The apartment has everything you need for a home-base while exploring Porto and we would absolutely recommend it! We were able to park our rental car right outside of the apartment for our entire stay as well which was convenient. Right next to the apartment is a hidden gem of an antique store/bar that is absolutely worth checking out.
As many others have mentioned, the church bell right outside the window starts at 8am- which is fine since you will want to be up early to explore the city anyway! We knew this from other reviewers before our trip and it did not bother us at all.
One other thing to note is that we visited during Porto’s rainy season, although it only rained one day and the rest was perfect weather, the apartment was a little damp at night and in the mornings.
With that being said, Carla and team were excellent with check-in and other communication during our stay.
