We are very grateful to have stayed here, it's a great apartment in a great spot. The ocean air, the seagulls swooping by, pigeons purr-warbling on the rafters, the beautiful view of Porto from up high in the apartment, all create a very magical experience, & it's especially good for meditators. Beautiful (and clean) apartment and building, wonderful architecture, great spot in Porto with the beautiful tiled streets and all that. One night it was rather loud outside as there is a bar down below, so we closed the windows and did fall asleep. Think it was a student event, yet for those who need full quiet to sleep, some nights there may be more noise and you'd need to shut the windows, use a white noise machine perhaps, ear plugs etc. In the day the sounds outside are friendly and lively, other times quiet, yet at night, at times, one may need sound shielding. Dealing with the sound was ok for us, livable and totally worth it, it's an amazing apartment in a spot up high. We had a very healing experience.
