This is a terrific base to explore Porto. It's set right in the heart of the Ribeira, walking distance to the river and the major sights. The apartment is simply furnished but very smart and comfortable, well set up (we cooked in a bit, ate out mostly, how can you not in Porto?), lots of hot water, comfortable beds. Took a while to heat up the place (we visited in January) but once it did, all was good. We arrived by car, and there's convenient secure parking (albeit pricy) a block away under the plaza by the Palácio da Bolsa (which also has a nice grassy park to walk your dog, if you're traveling with one, which we were). There's a bodega type market right to the left of the front entrance to the building, you can pick up most necessaries there or at the mini Spar further down the hill. Restaurants abound in any direction, and there's a bakery to the right across the street that makes terrific Portuguese tarts. Ana and Gonçalo were easy to reach and very attentive and helpful. Highly recommended.
