The view from Marta's picture windows will not disappoint. The apartment is small and located on the top floor of a residential block. Although the block is a bit dated, everything works fine, including the elevator, and the neighbours we met in passing were all friendly. The apartment is small and quite basic, but everything nice and clean and in good working order. Comfortable bed. Not much noise from within the apartment, but noise from the city below can sometimes be heard well through the night. Generally though, the location was quiet enough for us and we slept well. Access to Porto is a pleasant walk down a steep hill past Graham's Port to the the water's edge (about 10 or 15 minutes), and from there we enjoyed exploring Gaia before walking the footbridge or taking the river taxi across to Porto itself. Recommendation: Fresh coffee and sandwiches from the friendly cafe on the corner before the drop down past Grahams. We really enjoyed having the apartment as a base to explore Porto, and recommend it to all!
