This is a new flat and building in impeccable condition. 2 elevators service this 2nd floor unit. The 2 bathrooms are comfortable, clean and great showers. High ceilings everywhere.
The kitchen has only a small stock of cooking items like spices, vinegar.....If you plan on cooking you'll need to stock up on some of these items. We made breakfast daily getting eggs, terrific croissants and salad a few doors away at the market.
The beds are comfortable and the linens and towels are good quality. The new Windows let in plenty of light and ventilation.
Comfortable living room with cable and wifi throughout. Washer/dryer combo unit is very useful.
The location is 1 minute from a metro stop. There are several sets of about 8 steps to enter or exit the metro to and from the street. Only Someone with limited mobility might find this challenging. There are also several bus stops within a few blocks in almost every direction.
The street is pretty quiet and only somewhat busy during rush hour. Rush hour is late in Porto, probably starts closer to 9. It's not a route many trucks take.
The Casa De Musica circle is maybe a 7 minute walk where there's a different metro stop and Porto's wonderful performing arts center. Get tickets and attend performances there. It's a superb experience and building.
The neighborhood is excellent and close to the center. Shops are all around. 2 blocks away is a road full of nice shops that leads into the tourist center. After about 4-5 blocks, it becomes a pedestrian only road into the heart of Porto's tourist area. It's a wonderful 20 minute stroll on a delightful street full of cafes, restaurants and shops.
Ana is a very caring host and highly responsive. She's thoughtful and will go to any lengths to be sure you're comfortable.
