The location of this apartment in Porto is pretty ideal: in the heart of so much of what Porto has to offer. In addition to being near the river, the squares and great restaurants, we loved that it is so close to the train station, which allowed us to easily take day trips out of the city. Do be advised that the apartment sits above an alley that is frequented by drug users whose needle-usage, dealings and screams can be heard if you open the window (which is necessary in the summer, as there is no A/C in the apartment). I alerted the host, who called the police the first time, but later said the drug users were not dangerous. I have recommended to the hosts that they work with the police to address the situation in the alley more systemically; right now, there is a city cleaning crew that hoses down the alley in the morning, getting rid of the drug paraphenalia, at which point the drug users return.
