We stayed for four nights at Casa da Paz with two adults and our two young children. This is a very stylish and comfortable apartment, and was sparkling clean when we got there. This apartment really feels like you are living in Porto, rather than staying as a tourist. The hosts were incredible. We appreciated their setting us up with a wonderful babysitter who babysat for our two girls for two nights so my husband and I could go out to eat. It was so thoughtful and worked out really well. One thing we really enjoyed about this apartment was its convenience to the Bom Successo urban mercado, which offers a great and very modern space for reasonably priced food and drinks, and lots of choices. We went there many times for dinner or lunch, and I enjoyed being able to get wine as well as food like hamburgers for my kids who were picky with food in Portugal. On the other side of the location, however, it was quite a long walk (25 minutes) or a short ride to the center of Porto or to the Ribeira. Because of this we usually took Uber. Uber works amazing in Portugal, and it is super cheap and convenient, but if you want to stay right where the action is then this may not be a great choice. This apartment has lots of space, and that is a major reason why we chose it - we wanted separate beds and lots of space for us. This is a perfect choice for families with young children as there were a ton of toys for the kids to play with. They enjoyed playing with the toys, even though the kids were different ages (7, 4). There is an American style coffee maker which was nice, and the apartment had some coffee and other things you would need to fix breakfast, etc. There is a washing maching (rather small, but typical for Portugal), and no dryer, also typical for Portugal. We stayed in three airbnb properties when in Portugal and none had a clothes dryer, so be prepared to hang your clothes. The outdoor space was cute but we didn't use it much, it was too hot and there were some bees near the fruit from the trees. (My 4 year old got stung by a bee on this trip elsewhere so we were a bit wary of bees!) Also, there is no air conditioning, although the apartment stayed pretty cool except on the hottest days/nights. The fans worked quite well, although I couldn't leave the windows open all night because the noise from the street was too loud for me. This shouldn't be a problem most of the year - I suspect it was quite a bit hotter than is typical for Porto. In sum, we had a wonderful time staying here. It is a stylish and comfortable apartment and you can live like a local!
