We had a nice stay in Porto. It's a magical City. The apartment was very clean and very nicely appointed. We had a view of the river and we were close to most everything. Just walking distance. There is a little noise and traffic outside but I suppose you will have that anywhere in Porto unless you are outside of where you really want to be. Not to be too picky but the pillows were a little hard compared to what we are used to and the bed a little soft and low to the ground but that is just our preferences. Otherwise it was a marvelous stay and a beautiful apartment. There was no air conditioning but they did have a fan and windows that opened. When you open the windows to get the breeze you are also letting the sounds of the city in. We got used to the traffic and city sounds quickly and it became background white noise.
