This apartment is located in a great neighborhood. You're a couple blocks off of a main square that has a grocery store, restaurants, and local sights. You are able to walk anywhere in Porto from this apartment. It also has secure underground parking which is a huge asset in Porto. If you're arriving in a car like we did, Carolinas apt is a great choice. The building is in a busy neighborhood, but the windows are very soundproof- we were not disturbed at all by street noise.The apartment had a few quirks that we didn't enjoy as much: other reviewers mentioned that the kitchen is not well equipped. If you're planning on preparing food while staying in the unit, you'll need to bring oils, salt/pepper and potentially cookware (there are a couple pots/pans not in great condition). There is a Nespresso machine for making coffee but only two pods were provided for our four day stay, so I recommend bringing your own if you like coffee each morning. It's also worth mentioning that there are many affordable cafes, snack bars and restaurants in close proximity, so cooking isn't strictly necessary. My only other critique is that the shower is designed so that it is impossible not to get the floor soaking wet after each shower. This is a common design in Portugal though, not sure much can be done about it. We were comfortable here during our time in beautiful Porto, I'm sure you will be too!
