The apartment is walking distance to many of the sights in Porto, and has a nice bathtub and hot water. There are some things, however, that you should be aware of if you are planning on staying here:
1.	You must climb 4 flights of stairs to get to the apartment, so if you are traveling with luggage, it’s cumbersome!
2.	The photo of the main room gives the impression that the apartment looks into a garden or park, but in reality, below the windows is a very busy and relentlessly noisy street and the view from the window is into a school yard. When we arrived, the apartment was stuffy and we went to open the windows to get some fresh air, but the noise was overwhelming! So, we needed to close them for a little relief from the horns and buses below. I sent a message to the hosts asking if they had a fan available but did not receive a response.
3.	The bedroom is very small, just big enough for the bed and two small end tables, but there is no closet or place to put suitcases. They had a portable clothes rack next to the futon in the living area (where you see the bean bag chair in their photo), and the only place for suitcases is on the floor in the living area.
4.	The entire building seems to be Airbnb rentals and the whole check in process is very impersonal. Since we were already familiar with Porto, this was not so important, but on our first visit to the city it was invaluable to have the host greet us with a warm Porto welcome and offer suggestions for food and sightseeing.
5.	The bedroom wall is adjacent to the stair/hallway and as such, when guests come and go you hear every word spoken and the noise of every time the suitcase bangs against each stair is amplified by the acoustics in the stairway. Not a big deal during the day, but we were awakened abruptly at 4 a.m. two mornings in a row when other guests arrived.
6.	You must walk through the bedroom to get to the bathroom, which would be inconvenient if someone is sleeping in the living area.
7.	We are only giving this a 2-star rating because we would not stay here again, and were extremely disappointed to learn that the photo deceivingly portrayed this as an airy, peaceful place. However, if you are a very heavy sleeper, not planning to spend much time in the apartment, and enjoy a hot bath after a long day of sightseeing, you may be perfectly happy here. The price was good, but our last Airbnb in Porto was in the same neighborhood, about the same price with a much better layout with a welcoming host.
