The location of this apartment is its greatest asset. High up at the edge of the old city, on a narrow street beside the photography museum, it is just ten minutes' walk from Sao Bento metro station. You can be at the door within an hour of collecting your bags at the airport. No need to have a car: all of the historic centre of Porto is within walking distance. There's a good restaurant and a friendly cafe on the street, and everything else you need is nearby (supermarket at the bottom of Rua dos Caldeireiros). Of course, the fact that the apartment is on the fifth floor means climbing plenty of stairs, but any visitor to this city will need to be fairly fit and mobile. Word of caution: we were here at the start of April, in cool weather, and since it's an attic, it's possibly much warmer in the summer months - though since you're up high (with a great view across the city from one window) it is a breezy spot and the windows are well-shuttered. We stayed here for a week as a family of five. Everything in the apartment, though basic, was very clean and new, and Rosa (who lives in the building on the ground floor, with her family) is extremely kind. She even had the apartment cleaned halfway through our stay. We were two adults and three kids (two teenagers), and were a pretty good fit, though the kids needed to take turns sleeping on the sofa. The teens were pacified by the availability of free wifi, without which we would have faced mutiny on rainy days (it works well at one end of the flat; not so well at the other). Two adults and two kids would be an ideal sized family to stay here. Preferably adults whose idea of fun is visiting museums while deciding where, and what, to eat and drink next; and kids who can be bribed with pastries and wifi, have stout walking shoes and raincoats, and don't mind watching their parents `taste' port every afternoon.
