Absolutely enjoyed the stay. My girlfriend and I came to Porto for the first time, and the place was amazing: clean, cozy, with lots of light coming through massive windows. A balcony may be a bonus for a smoker – we used it for evening wine sipping, though. g. Also the host left a bottle for us – a nice touch. The area is 10-15 min from the city centre, depending on your speed, but I'd say in case you feel lazy, there's everything you might need located around: pharmacy around the corned, a food chain nearby, a café, a restaurant etc. The tube's pretty close as well. Loved our stay, definitely recommend.
