João gave us a warm welcome in the apartment. He is very nice and polite. He explained how everything works and told us that he unfortunately heared that in the apartment below people were busy with construction. During our stay (more than a week) there was construction noise, but this was just bad luck for us. Besides that the apartment is clean, the view at the balcony is nice and no traffic! So it's nice and quiet in the morning in the weekends. During the week there is a garage underneath the apartment and they produce noise (music, washing cars), not too bad...but for us it was a bit annoying because we needed to work as well. But If you are there for only sight seeing, you probably wont mind, since you will be out exploring Porto! The kitchen is well equiped, it even has a dishwasher. We also liked the fact that the aparment is very well located. Especially if you want to eat vegetarian or vegan. There are quite some restaurant on walking distance closeby. Which we loved of course! And the shower is great! Loved it :)
