We stayed for 10 nights, so we got a good taste of the apartment and the neighborhood. The building was completely renovated a few years ago, and everything is like new here. The view isn't much, but it is bright and airy. If you want to sleep late, there are electrically operated roll down shutters to black out the room until you choose to have light. The bathroom has a soft light for nighttime trips.
The bed is two twin beds to use as a king or two seperate beds. Nice pillows and bedding. We found the mattress comfortable as well. There is a washer located in the bathroom, although not much for hanging facilities Just a small rack on the wall of the patio. But you will get by. It's nice to have the laundry.
The kitchen is nice with dishwasher, microwave, cooktop and oven. A large fridge with separate freezer. and it looks nice too. My only complaint is the knops installed make it very hard to open the doors and drawers because they have nice self closers that take a bit of a tug to open..
To get here from the airport, you take the metro, change trains at Trindade, and go 1 more stop. It is 2 long blocks from the metro. Plan on stopping twice to rest unless you are traveling light. It's all uphill. Don't let that dissuade you... everything in Porto is uphill from where you are LOL. There is a small market right across the street in the shopping mall, but down 2 floors (On 0 level), But our favorite market was Pingo Doce, about 3.5 blocks away.
We found the location good. We never took a bus or metro once we arrive. (Other than tours). you can walk everywhere. The neighborhood is safe. sometimes busy.
Bottom line, if I was coming to Porto again, I would be happy to stay here again.
