This is a simple, yet elegant apartment home convenient to many of Porto's attractions. The Sao Bento train station is only two blocks away, there are a number of restaurants and cafes right outside your window and the downtown Douro riverfront is only two blocks away. Sonia was very responsive the day of our arrival with train info and directions to the apartment. A few items of note for those less familiar with Porto and this location: if you are a light sleeper, you should know that the noise from the street goes well into the morning. Also, the apartment is a UNESCO World Heritage location so air conditioners are not allowed. The cool night air and a fan were sufficient to keep the space comfortable; bugs are not an issue. Lastly, it has a very small kitchenette (hot plate and small refrigerator) so preparing a meal could be challenging. Who needs a kitchen when you have a hundreds of amazing restaurants within walking distance?!
