This is a great location to explore Porto as it is a few minutes' walk from Trindade metro station, which is the transfer station for all of the metro lines. The unit is located on the 6th floor, so it was very handy to have an elevator for the building. At the street level, there is a small market for basic food needs and a pastry cafe with an assortment of delectable eats. As the building is located next to a hospital, the street does get a fair amount of traffic.
The apartment is exactly as pictured, which is actually quite spacious and comfortable. The bed is very soft and our personal favorite was the blackout shutters. The unit gets a fair amount of sunlight, so for those wanting to sleep in, you will be impressed. Also, during our stay, the weather was rather warm, so we were thrilled to have A/C units in the bedroom and living room area. Those with high sensitivity to scents can use the A/C to filter out the smoke from the paramedics who tend to convene at the pastry cafe below.
We were fortunate enough to arrive right as the Mercado Bolhao re-opened after a 4-year hiatus for renovations and it is a great place to stroll from the apartment to take in the shops and sights in that area and finish with a delicious lunch at one of the restaurants at the Mercado. But there is no shortage of choices once you get into that area. Your only dilemma will be which restaurant to try.
