Because this apartment is not in the city center, it is quite spacious for 4 people. It was recently remodeled and the owners have decorated it beautifully. And because it is not in the city center, street parking is not an issue. We drove from Lisbon to Porto and not having to worry about parking was a huge relief. The apartment is a 5 minute walk to the metro station which gave us easy access to all the attractions.

Miguel and Helder met us at the apartment and provided a list of important information about Porto; as in must see and do, restaurants to try, closest grocery, even weather forecast during our stay. They answered all questions and concerns we had and were easily available.

Porto was a surprise to us. As Helder said, it is a bit run down, but has a lot of charm. We loved it and after long days of exploring, it was great to be able to go "home" to a wonderful apartment.

PS, only drawback is there is no elevator to the 4th floor apartment (about 70 steps), but we didn't mind too much. Needed to burn those Francescinha's. If walking up the stairs isn't an issue with you as well, you should definitely consider this place.
