Paulo’s place has a great location. Extremely easy to access anything and everything you would want to see in Porto. The place was clean and generally comfortable. However, there is absolutely no sound proofing between floors , walls, and the outside. From the first floor apartment we were often woken up by groups chatting as they were coming in. On more than one occasion we were woken up by the guests staying above us because the sound proofing was so poor we thought that someone was entering our apartment in the middle of the night.
