Joao's apartment was the perfect walking distance to many of our favourite parts of the city of Porto. While it is only a few blocks away from a busy metro station/shopping center, my family and I barely noticed any noise or disturbances from outside the apartment during our 5-day stay. The apartment was immaculate when we arrived and we even had a chance to speak with Joao's wife (who met us upon arrival) to talk about local suggestions on places to visit and/or eat. We loved our family visit to the city of Porto and would definitely recommend Joao's place to any traveling groups of 4+ individuals.
