This apartment is situated perfected in the historic downtown area. Petronela was very kind and gave us good recommendations for things to see and do. During the time we were there, Porto was experiencing a heat wave and this unit like many others in the area did not have air conditioning. Some electric fans in the unit would have helped to reduce the discomfort in the apartment at night. They also would have helped to cover up the loud street noises from the restuarants and bars on either side of the unit which would often continue well after midnight. The apartment is also surrounded by many roosting places for seagulls who seem to have loud vocal competitions every morning from about 5:30-8:00am making it difficult to sleep in. Other than these issues, the unit worked fine for our family of 8. Porto is a lovely city and this apartment is located in just the right spot to see much of it.
