The apartment is very accurate as listed. I absolutely LOVED my stay at Merc place! As a solo female traveler who had never been to Portugal I just picked this place based on reviews and location. The apartment was clean and spacious and had everything I needed. The apartment is located on a travessa (alley) closed off to cars. While there are a few restaurants and snack bars in the travessa, the windows of the flat are sound proof so I heard *nothing* at night. The apartment is a 30 minute walk to the Douro River waterfront and very central to many things like the famous bookstore, bell tower, etc. I would definitely stay here again!!! I’m already looking forward to my next trip to Porto.
