Great location close to central Porto. Check in was difficult, you need to get key from shop and apartment owner a few doors down. We arrived at 11 and were able to store our luggage in store and she kindly brought to apartment. However, we were not able to get in until 420, unfortunately. She was checking in 4 others, too bad she could not have done us earlier as were were available. She is very kind and offered to arraign transportation. The apartment beds and pillows are very firm and this was not my style so hard to sleep. One bedroom along street and a bit noisy all night. NO soap, shampoo, dishwasher or washer machine soap- every other place we stayed did so this was disappointing. You could purchase at her store. Ceiling stains that have leaks and buckets mid hallways to collect drops. Towels well used but clean. Beautiful patio was the highlight of the apartment. Very large
