The apartment is in a perfect location for getting around Porto. It has the added advantage of being down hill on your way back from most attractions! The river is downhill and a couple of minutes away. The apartment space is fine for 2 people. I think 4 would be a struggle. The kitchen had all the usual facilities along with a bread knife, which is odd to mention, but we notice this is often missing. The area feels very safe and we felt happy to wander about at all hours. There are 20 steps going up to the lift area and then a further 10 to get the the apartment. The shower was very good and the shampoo and shower gel were nice touches that meant we didn't need to bring any, along with a hair dryer. The beds were firm and not to our liking, but that is very subjective. There are plenty of places nearby to get supplies, a SPAR and bakeries in a couple of minutes walk.
