The host was very helpful and welcoming & responded to us quickly when we texted him to ask something. The apartment was exactly as seen in the photos & the description was accurate. The location was absolutely perfect & was as central as it could possibly be. It was easy to find when arriving in Porto. We'd stayed for a week in Porto. We liked the airyness and brightness of the apartment. The doors could be opened and you could feel a nice breeze coming in. The table was a nice spot for us to sit & eat food. We had the large doors open the whole time we were in the apartment to let in lots of air. The view was great and it was nice at nighttime. The bed was comfy.
There was some noise at nighttime, which is what one expects in a lively European city where people are out late at night enjoying themselves.
Whilst most people visiting Porto will want to eat out & there are great places for food and drink immediately on your doorstep, me & my other half are vegan so we tend to prepare food for ourselves more than other people might - simple stuff like olives, tomato, avocado, bread & olive oil usually featured each day. There is a small stove which is ample for making simple food. There' s a historic market not too far away for buying fruit, veg etc.
We wouldn't hesitate to come back to the apartment and to recommend it to anyone. It's probably best suited for a couple who want to stay for 3 or 4 days, maybe a week & provided that you're OK with a relatively compact living space (but really what you'd expect if you look at the photos and the price - which was good value, we thought). The exposed stone work is lovely and it's a historic building with high ceilings.
