The flat is perfectly located and wonderfully charming. We had a wonderful time in Porto and explored everything on foot. Communication was great and transport to the airport was organised for us (this worked perfectly, the driver was even there early plus very friendly and professional). As you are in the middle of the city, there is of course the usual background noise - no problem for us. Please note that there is a huge construction site right in front of the window during the day- we were a bit lost on the day of arrival as some ways are closed! If you are out during the day anyway, the noise might not be a problem. We only used the kitchen for coffee - there are far too many great restaurants within walking distance! ;-)
