We really enjoyed being in this apartment. It is in a good location, even though it is not right in the center of Porto. It is across the river, in Vila Nova do Gaia, which is a little bit quieter community. We walked back-and-forth to Porto without a problem. The apartment is an older style, with a number of different smaller rooms. We found it unique and interesting. The beds were excellent. You should be aware that it is right next to the metro tracks, so you do hear the train. We more earplugs, and it worked out fine for us. Mario was a super host, and made us feel welcome.
