As described, the apartment is right in the centre of the city, about half way (and within very short walking distance) of Sao Bento train station and the river bank. Its central location makes it ideal to explore Porto. One has a beautiful view on the narrow streets of the old city from the lounge and balcony and the French doors seal tightly preventing any noise from the outside getting in.

The apartment has more conveniences (such as a stove with an oven and a dish washer) than one would expect given its size. If you travel with big suitcases, it would require a bit of ingenuity if you wish to leave them open on the ground and live out of them.

Carlos welcomed us warmly and provided us with a handy map with useful tips on where to go out eating and what to see.
