We couldn’t have asked for a more centrally located and beautiful space for our first visit to Porto. With easy walkable access to all the city highlights and convenience of some brilliant restaurants and shops, we hardly used any public transport whilst we there and just relied on Uber (very affordable and easy) to and from the airport.
Alexandra had some brilliant recommendations for dinner and the excellent placement of one of the best bakeries in Porto - just across the road, made breakfast a very easy choice every morning.
It’s worth noting there is some transient noise from the hallway and upstairs residence as the floors are wooden and I think we just got unlucky the first night (there was a huge party in the square!) with lots of footfall and someone across the way being unable to get into their apartment which led to lots of disturbance. That being said, for a central apartment it was pleasantly quiet otherwise.
One final point too, it was quite humid in the city whilst we were there and we didn’t feel we could sleep with any of the large windows open in the living room / kitchen as our daughter was on the sofa bed so just worth bearing in mind if you need air con or prefer to sleep with windows open at night.
We wouldn’t hesitate to book Alexandra’s apartment again and have already recommended it to loads of friends!
