A very nice, compact studio. Easy to get to from the station, a bit of a walk from the nearest metro from the Airport. It is pretty easy to find and well located, overlooking the clock tower and right next to some nice restaurants and bars + nightlife (which means it is very loud on a Saturday night) as well as Sao Bento station. But, beware, Porto is cobbled and hilly so wear sensible shows. The place it is a way up the hill from the old town and the bottom level of bridge over to Gaia (port houses). Having said that all of Porto is walkable if you have time and are fit enough for the hills. Check in was as expected (done by a friend as Mario was not available) and the room was nicely presented and clean with little extras like salt and pepper for cooking, ground coffee and a very good hairdryer. We were a little disappointed with the lack of clarify about checkout arrangements but they were very flexible so all ended well. The downsides would be the number of buskers outside if you want a peaceful lie in, and there was a persistent smell of fresh paint which meant we had to leave windows open all day. It is ideal for those who are just using it as a crash pad.
