Very central to the old town, cathedral and river front, this attractive, clean and well-equipped top floor duplex apartment was perfect for a stay for 5 of us including our grown-up "kids" . Places in the old town of Porto are not huge but there was enough space for us all. Using the sitting room as a 3rd bedroom worked fine as the kitchen has enough comfortable seating for a holiday where you are mostly out and about. Air con was available but Porto did not get that hot (in early August it was low-mid 20's). The little balcony, accessed through the sitting room, was much appreciated, too.
The building's lift was a relief after outings in precipitous Porto and the check in - all via codes - was a dream. Maria's communications and responses were all prompt, though we messed up a bit with not clicking through the full set of entry instructions on arrival (our fault - but make sure you keep going on reading through the steps). Really clear instructions are provided for using the apartment and equipment. Bathrooms all worked (check positioning of the seal on the screen to avoid leakages). And for the English user - a kettle and decent-sized mugs were provided for the all-important cuppa.
Users who require smart surroundings should note that old town Porto is not all restored so retains some pockets of old-school charm - you will see some abandoned properties, one or two street cats and the odd line of washing as part of the deal. This was an attractive feature for us as it makes the place more real and tourists are certainly in the majority. You might even spot the perfect place to fix up yourself!
