We loved this apartment! It's within walking distance to everything in Porto. It's in a safe neighborhood (nearly all of Portugal feels more safe than any major US city) centrally located to many restaurants and bars. Graciete gives a lot of suggestions in their book and our favorite was taking the 500 Bus to the beach for only 3 euro round trip (would have cost 30 euro round trip for same trip on a tour bus). I'd definitely suggest staying here if visiting Porto and looking for a very nice apartment in great location.
