I was fortunate to spend two months in Gergely's apartment, and after reading several other reviews, I wish to add my own experience. The place is very quiet, there are a few dogs in houses nearby, but they only make a little noise and very occasionally. The fighting neighbors downstairs were gone, and very little noise could be heard from other apartments. The place is a little far from Porto, which I liked very much, but other people may find inconvenient. Public transport is very good, and Uber and FreeNow will put a car at the door in minutes. Pingo Doce, Lidl, Mercadona and Auchan are supermarkets within walking distance. You can also walk to the Duero river side in 10 minutes. The vies from the windows are breathtaking, and the apartment was very warm in the winter time. Finally you have to consider that Gergely actually lives in that apartment and moves away when it is rented, so you will find the closets and kitchen cabinets full of his and his family's things, therefore you might have to keep some of your stuff in your suitcases. On a last note, yes there is no electric coffee maker but you can choose between a french press, an italian expresso pot and a syphon machine, YouTube will show you how to use any if you are unfamiliar, and for lovers of american coffee, just go to Pingo Doce, find a bag of Colombian Arabiga grinded coffee with intensity 7, and mix 1/4 cup of strong coffe with 3/4 of hot water.
