The apartment itself is very clean, and nicely designed. It is in an older building, with I believe, different owners for each apartment. The block is a mixture of some renovated buildings, and some original ones. Everything worked as expected. the place is cozy, but cute. THERE IS NO PARKING on this street. You can pull over to unload your car, but need to move afterwards. There is a paid lot nearby, a couple of streets away. If you pay ahead of time online, you can get a ticket to go in and out for the number of days you need, for a set price.The original listing for this unit stated "free street parking". The Host has thankfully removed that. This flat is not for someone who minds stairs, walking hills, or has a lot of luggage to carry up. Like many parts of Portugal, and Porto, this area in the center has quite a number of hills. The sidewalks are cobblestone, so wear appropriate shoes, especially when it is raining. If hills are no problem, or if you choose UBER, then it is a very quick trip to the waterfront, bridges, and other parts of the historic district. This is an apartment that is on what in the States would be called the 4th floor. There is no elevator.
