Great value place, located to everything that you need. Only downside was that the place didn't have a washing machine, but there is a launderette a short walking distance away. To get to the beach you take a short trip on eitherthe bus or train. We chose the train and it took about 30 minutes at a cost of around €4 per person. It is also a short walk to Porto City centre, but we stuck to the square which is a very short walk from this apartment and much better value.
