We believe this apartment is best suited for a group of up to four persons who want to dive into this lively city all day and night:
Sonia and Pedro gave us a very friendly welcome when we arrived and provided us with a lot of useful information for our upcoming two days in Porto. Also when we messaged them during our stay we always got a comprehensive response quickly. Thank you both very much for your warm and caring style in hosting us. You gave a role model of a good host on AirBnB: you do not just to rent out a place but you give personal help and to share your knowledge as a local with the guests.
We found the apartment in spotless clean and in as-new condition. Sonia and Pedro tastefully decorated the space. The apartment is as described and as visible on the pictures.
We were five persons. We found the fifth person and his/her luggage occupies the living room sofa and makes the living room a bit stuffy. The small kitchenette is suited for preparing breakfast or a snack. We can not recommend to cook an entire meal, there is only one available cooking plate and little available work desk space.
The apartment is located on the third floor overlooking a central square at the end of a popular pedestrian street (AirBnb does not allow me to write the names here). When visiting in July several restaurants had their tables outside downstairs, and street musicians were playing all day until late. In short, we found ourselves in the middle of everything, especially since we left the large windows (floor to ceiling) open all day and evening until bedtime for ventilation in the summer heat.
Nearest bakeries is 3min walk, small super market 5min, locals' main shopping area and market hall 10-15min, the Douro river banks (tourist) promenade 5min, Ponte Louse (Eifel's bridge) 10min, vineries on the other side of the Douro river approx 15-20min walk.
