Yanan's apartment is incredibly convenient if visiting Porto. It's a block away from Sao Bento & mere minutes to Luis Bridge, the river, & many of the "must see" spots in downtown Porto. The apartment is clean & much roomier than the pictures indicate. Nice high ceilings & tall windows help open up the space.
Even though you're close to the train station & all the attendant traffic the noise was never an issue. As a solo traveler I felt safe staying here. The building is well-maintained & secure.
I do wish more basics had been provided. No extra linens/towels were available during my 11 day stay. The kitchen was missing a few basic items for cooking but it was easy enough to adapt. Yanan kindly brought me more toilet paper as only one roll was provided. However, other "essentials" like dish soap, hand soap, and basic cleaning supplies were not. The apartment was clean but with a minimum stay of 10 days it would be helpful to have more supplies on hand for guests.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay at Yanan's apartment & would recommend it for those on a budget. It's an incredible value. Also, Yanan is one of the nicest hosts I've met. She was kind enough to let me check-in early & was communicative throughout my stay. Thanks Yanan!
