I chose this apartment because of the cool artwork and fresh but cozy atmosphere, and the location and the view. It was every bit as much as the photos. Small but not cramped, just very practical and with amazing views onto the church, and a cozy atmosphere and lovely artworks that really liven up the place.

I loved the location, very close to many nice lunch cafes and bars and museums and shops and (flea) markets, and easy walks to São Bento station or to the river. I often went back in the middle of the day to drop some things off or whatever, and then continue my day in Porto; it's in a convenient location for that.

The apartment was comfortable, clean and complete, and I had plenty of towels. The bathroom was fine, and it's so practical to have a kitchen and fridge. The bed was very comfy as well.

The wifi went down once but switching the router off and on (hallway) helps. The rest of the time it worked perfectly with full 4 stripes.

I don't mind noise at night because I can sleep with ear plugs. That might be a downside for people who need a quiet area. During the weekend nights there is street noise from people going out. I also had noise from student initiation rituals throughout the week (at night too) and Halloween. But personally I love being in a bustling, lively area; it also feels very safe if there are always people in the street day or night.

The whole rental process went very smoothly, Elói was very clear and helpful in his messages before my stay and helped me with public transport and suggestions. He also contacted me a few days in advance to see if he could be of further help which I thought was very sweet.
Miguel was the one who handed me the keys and had coffee with me to talk a bit more and he was also very helpful, giving me great suggestions for Porto and surroundings, and he pointed me to a local low-key fado cafe nearby where I went just minutes after arriving, to hear amazing live fado being sung by various singers.

All in all, if you don't mind night noise and you enjoy a bustling, lively area, centrally located with regards to anywhere you may want to go and with great views, then this is a perfect little cozy, practical place in Porto! :-)
