This apartment is amazing!! The pictures don’t do it justice. The view is even more beautiful in person! This apartment is extra special because it’s the only new/remodeled unit in the area. The location is perfect to walk to everything. It’s right on the river in a rare location with few other rentals and no hotels. But be prepared for like 100 old stone stairs between the street and the apartment. (But you’ll want the exercise after eating so much delicious food!) After the staircase, there is groceries and cafes very close.
The apartment has 3 bedrooms, perfect for 4-6 people... two ensuite bedrooms and one loft bedroom that would be more ideal if enclosed. Its an open loft and the noise echoes up.
Porto is a late town. We ate dinner at 10pm every night at amazing restaurants. (Jetlag!) Most of our favorite meals were also very affordable. I would skip the Cantino do Avillez restaurant which was celebrity chef prices without much of the molecular gastronomy foods that would make the prices worth it. Meh. Our favorite restaurant was nearby Restaurante Terreiro. Nice seafood restaurant by the same owners as Adega São Nicolau. Our server gave us lots of bar recs afterwards. Great wine selection. Also a favorite was À Bolina, in front of the apt. They really took care of us and the small plates were fun and delicious to share!
tl;dr This apt is super special! Stay here! (If stairs are not a problem.)
