When we arrived from the airport, the owner picked us up at the metrostation and showed us the way to the apartment. In the meanwhile he told us all about Porto and when we arrived in the apartment, he even wrote all over our map with fun activities in the city. The location of the apartment is great, it´s in the middle of the centre and you can go by foot to the river and the station. The bus to the beach and many other nice places leaves right in front of your door. It can indeed be a bit noisy outside in the evening, but we didn´t find it annoying, that´s the way it is in a city centre.
