I stayed in this apartment on Flores for one month. This apartment is perfectly located in the heart of historic downtown Porto. I loved being situated here, and felt I could easily walk to everything I needed. Just a few minutes from Sao Bento Station and metro on foot, so a great place to be for transportation.
Pros: Amazing, central location with a scenic window view & sounds of live music in the evening. Very fast responsiveness from Joel to all my messages and questions. Great internet speeds for getting work done. Having a washer/drier duo was wonderful, as I stayed 1 month. Spacious bathroom and plenty of natural light in the apartment. Very quiet neighbors. I used the tea pot boiler a lot.
Cons: The apartment leaves a little to be desired for a longer stay like mine. I had to buy even basic things like salt and olive oil for cooking. No extra touches for longer stays except towels, trash bags, and dish soap/sponge. Very old pots and pans. The mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. The fixtures are not in great shape, i.e. the overhead lights are falling apart, the shower head won't remain upright in its stand (just a bit outdated). And if you're a light sleeper, it can get a little loud in the later evening.
Overall, I loved being in this location, and the internet worked fast which was what I needed to get work done from home. I'd definitely recommend it for shorter stays, where you're not spending a ton of time chilling in the apartment. Thanks, Joel :)
