The location within Porto is fantastic. My husband and I recommend Pedro dos Frangos for their roasted chicken and Conga for the bifanas (literally under a minute walk outside the door). Check-in was easy, but we were unaware we had to go to the office and then go to the apartment. We thought the apartment was above the office. The train station, the office, and the apartment were all pretty close to each other though. Our apartment was on the second floor and the staircase was pretty difficult to haul a heavy suitcase up so be aware of what you need to carry. The place was comfortable and clean. We liked the layout, but the balcony is smaller and not as scenic as we anticipated. It was also pretty quiet. We could hear other guests in the hallway sometimes, but not at unusual times. Great water pressure but we learned the hard way that the handles to turn on the shower are not intuitive. We both got scalded because the handles both turn in to turn off, not both "righty tighty lefty loosey". Overall we'd both recommend this place, but only if you can haul your suitcase up 2 flights of stairs.
