The porto concierge team were very helpful. Ypu can have someone meet you with a key at the apartment for 10euros. The area is lovely. Mostly bars, beach and pool. It is a local area rather than for tourists but that is what we liked. The prices are very good. Please go to Lions cafe for cakes and Daquiri lounge for food and drinks. Because it is residential, the pool was almost private for our use so no fighting fir a sun liunger. The apartment whilst older worked well for us and our three boys and they enjoyed the facilities. The beach is beautiful. You can walk left for an hour to get to the chapel on the beach. We enjoyed exploring Porto.
