Three friends and I enjoyed a very pleasant stay of 6 nights in Brookes apartment. The location was perfect, right in the heart of downtown Porto, close to all the main sights and a 10/15 min walk down to the river. The apartment was clean, spacious and well kitted out with all modern appliances and the balconies were great for eating breakfast in the sun! The bathrooms were lovely and the showers had great water pressure. We unfortunately had a few housekeeping issues regarding bed sheets and towels during our stay which was a shame, but Fred was great with communication in resolving these issues. The area felt very safe however please be aware there are a few bars on the street below which are very busy at night mainly with students. No noise can be heard in the flat when the shutters are closed but it may be a little intimidating to squeeze through all the people to get to the front door if you come back late at night. Porto is a lovely city and I recommend Brookes apartment for a comfortable stay.
