The location was outstanding. Literally 2 doors down from the famous Lello Book Store and across the street from a cute wine bar, coffee spot and next door to an ice cream shop. Walking distance to the main square filled with many restaurants, shops and monuments. The apartment was spacious (two bedrooms/2 full baths) and a large (for European standards) living and dining area. There are 55 steps to get to the apartments main floor and the first flight is filled with unsightly graffiti. There is a smokey bar right next to the apartment door and a few nights we had cigarette smell in the house. Probably not a problem if you're a smoker but for us it was a disappointment. When the bar closes (around 4 a.m.) there is a lot of noise from moving chairs around and cleaning. Happened every night. The bar patrons had to walk past our door to get to the bathroom and the entrance. We never heard any music or talking however. Not a problem if you're a sound sleeper or wear earplugs. Sadly not much the owners can do about these issues. Porto was a fun city to visit!
