Abel's apartment is amazing - beautiful, big and modern and bright. The view over the square is incredible, you really feel like Evita or something! The location is also great, an enjoyable walk through the heart of the city brings you to the river.

When we stayed (early August) there were a couple of small problems that can be easily fixed when Abel has time - we couldn't get the TV and the washing machine to work, and the pictures were still waiting to be hung on the walls.

I would definitely point out that the apartment is not air conditioned. This was a problem for us staying in summer, because the bedrooms, fronting onto the square, face west, and so get very hot. However, opening the windows makes the bedrooms very noisy and not easy to sleep in. I don't think this would be a problem for most of the year, but definitely in summer it made us wish that the apartment's heating was actually reverse cycle air conditioning!

Overall, this is a great apartment, and if I was coming back to Porto I would stay there again - but not in summer.
