This is a great place to stay. Very comfortable, nicely decorated with plenty of space, a spacious bathroom and a well-equipped kitchen. The apartment was very clean and well-maintained. There is plenty of storage space, including hangers in the closet. The apartment is on the top floor, and the windows look out onto some roofs, giving the place a sense of privacy. It's sunny and cheerful inside, and the air conditioner kept me cool at night when I wanted to close the windows. I didn't hear much street noise, even with the windows open, so my two nights there were very relaxing. The location is fantastic. There is a several story shopping center on the same block (but it's the upper level entrance, not used that much, so there is not excessive foot traffic). The apartment is in the middle of the block, and on the upper corner is a cafe on one side and a fruit and vegetable stand on the other. Street parking is hard to come by, but I used a garage on the same street, a few blocks away, that charges 9€ per day. It was easily worth it. I didn't use any public transit while I was in Porto, so I can't speak to its proximity and usefulness, but the apartment is well-situated if you're like me and prefer to walk everywhere. There are plenty of restaurants in walking distance, and a Continente grocery store close by if you prefer to buy groceries. Is shopping is your thing, there is plenty of that around. I didn't my time seeing historic spots, finding the oldest, narrowest streets, and the best lookout spots. There are plenty and all easily accessible from the apartment. Manuel provided a map of the city, circling spots of interest, and has a book of places of interest with photos to help guests plan their visit. Manuel really is prepared to host, and he does a great job! I definitely recommend!
