Perfect location if you want to explore Porto on foot - everything you plan to see and do in Porto is walking distance in the small but hilly city. The apartment was newly renovated with 2 brand-new immaculate bathrooms. It's on a main road so it does get a little noisy, but the bedroom is at the back and you can't hear anything if you close the bedroom door. Has a small kitchenette which has everything you need for basic self-catering (stove, sink, dishwasher, pots and pans). Unusual and fun layout, with the second bed in a sort of loft above the kitchen. We were only a couple so we didn't use the second bed, but I would expect climbing up and down would be a little precarious if you have mobility issues or problems with heights or awkward stairs. There is a lift in the building so heavy bags are no problem (good to know if you plan to fill your suitcases with port wine, like we did).
We really appreciated the friendly greeting and local tips from Bruno who met us, particularly as we were running late - he was really good about it and still took the time to give us a quick orientation.
Parking: the nearest parking is the Duque de Loule on R. Arnaldo Gama, it's one of the cheapest in the area and open 24/7. Hourly rate, totalling 24€ per day. But if you have some patience, the best option is to take one of the spots directly across the street from the apartment - we moved our car here when we saw that a few spaces opened up, and there were often free spaces in the evenings. You have to put money in the meter every 2 hours, but this wasn't an issue as we downloaded the parking app and paid online. This was by far the cheapest parking option, at 6€ per day and free at night.
