This apartment is beautifully restored, and has nice vintage furniture. It is in an excellent location, near the metro, and has a taxi rank outside. However, we found we could walk to everywhere we wanted to go, thanks to the central location. There is a small supermarket a few minutes walk away, and there is plenty of kitchen equipment in the flat for making meals, plus a good dishwasher. The only thing we could fault was the absence of any sort of drawers or wardrobes - there are only coat hangers in the bedrooms for hanging clothes. We just kept things in our suitcases. The weather was wet and windy during our stay, so we were not able to enjoy the balcony, but there were electric heaters in all the rooms to keep us warm. I chose this apartment because I thought it would be typical of Porto, and it met all my expectations.
