This apartment is compact but very well designed and quite stylish. No space problem for two people staying a few days. The building and apartment appear to be newly renovated and in pristine condition. Cleanliness is perfect. Kitchen is well equipped although we only used the coffee maker. The apartment is on the second floor (first floor in Europe) and there is a very small elevator (lift) that can only accommodate one person and one piece of luggage, and it is very slow. Better to use use the one flight of stairs. I can't really comment much on the location. Porto is not an especially walkable city and everything is mostly on a fairly steep incline. I didn't get much sense of neighborhoods but this location seems reasonably well located for access to most places one would want to go. The only negative within the apartment is that the mattress on the bed is somewhere between firm and hard, probably closer to hard. The photos are all quite accurate with the exception of the terrace, which is a big reason why we chose it. The terrace is a bit sad and forlorn, with dead plants. Better to just eliminate those than have them dead. And there is not much of a view other than a large ugly pit with nothing in it but a bare, brown bottom. It would have been nice to have breakfast on the terrace each morning while it was in shade, but each morning (in early August) was chilly, damp and foggy. So perhaps terraces in Porto are not especially practical. Check in was easy enough with last minute codes for the front door and the lockbox containing the apartment key. My suggestion is to just ignore the promise of an inviting terrace and rent this apartment for the gem it is otherwise.
