Communication from hosts was great - and they allowed us to leave our luggage early while cleaning was taking place which was very kind - and hugely helpful. This apartment is well located. It is a reasonable, pleasant walk to the river and main attractions. And if you don't fancy the walk, the lift to the metro station is literally about 50 yards from front door. The apartment is extremely clean. We stayed for two weeks, and the (very thorough) cleaner refreshed the bedding and gave a general spruce up halfway through. There is everything you could need, and the neighbours are lovely. In fact, everyone we met in Porto was lovely. You MUST go to the restaurant two doors down for a meal. There is no menu - just two meat choices, two fish choices, and if you are vegetarian you 'get what you are given'. The owner is a real character - and an excellent cook. That's a fairly cheap night out (around 48 euros for two people, three courses - including wine!!) If you fancy a bit more luxury the roof top garden at WOW on Gaia is another must! There is a vegetarian restaurant Root and Vine sharing the outdoor space with a fish restaurant Golden Catch. You can order from both menus. The food is incredible, the staff are excellent, and the view is spectacular. We paid 105 euros for three courses and two bottles of wine. I'm normally a bit miserly but I thought it was worth every penny.
We would definitely stay at this apartment again.
