We stayed in this apartment for three nights in July, and the design and layout were perfect. The location is excellent as it is just a few minutes from the main attractions and from the bus station where the bus goes to the airport. On top of that, it is in a pedestrian precinct and, therefore, no traffic noise. However, it is pretty noisy, with pedestrians passing by at all hours of the day. But the windows block out most of the noise when closed.
Some things to be aware of are: it was not as clean as we would have liked it - there was a lot of hair in the shower and dust on the night table lamps and underneath the bed. Additionally, there was a weird smell in the apartment which was at its worst in the bathroom. Furthermore, for such a high price per night, I would not expect that you have to take the linen off the bed and carry the trash to a bin a few streets away when checking out. Unfortunately, on the morning of departure, we were locked in the house after leaving our keys on the kitchen table (as instructed), as somebody must have locked the main building door. However, luckily some helpful neighbours were able to open the door for us, and we made it to our flight on time.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, and it is perfect for a couple's getaway and an excellent starting point to discover Porto. However, there is room for improvement especially given the price per night.
