This apartment was a great base for our family of 4. This apartment is located just north of many of Porto’s tourist attractions. For venturing further, it’s a few min from the Trindade metro station and 15-20 min walk from São Bento, and only about 20 min from the airport if no traffic.
Eliana and her husband were very friendly and welcoming, had great communication - very prompt with answering our questions. The recent remodel of the apartment seemed well done, the kitchen and living room were comfortable. The backyard is lovely, our kids especially loved playing there when we had downtime in the apartment and it was great to be able to have indoor/outdoor flow and fresh air with the doors open. The apartment generally felt quiet and calm, even though it is located centrally and there is a lot of hustle & bustle on the praça just outside the front door.
The downstairs bathrooms had a pump for the water drain because the main sewer line is higher than the bathrooms. It made a vibrating noise when a plumbing fixture was used - toilet, shower, sink. We tried to minimize use of those bathrooms when others were sleeping so we wouldn’t wake each other.
Overall a pleasant stay.
