The apartment location is perfect for visiting all the important places in Porto. We are close to everything. I didn’t need to take the metro or bus at all and just walked everywhere. The square below is very lively and there is music and noise, which we enjoyed and didn’t bother us. Currently, there is some construction going on and that adds to the noise during the day. But if you are outside, this is not an issue. And if you close the windows, most of the noise is cut out. We were able to sleep and didn’t think the noise was excessive.
The apartment is close to one of the liveliest street in Porto. Also it’s a 5 minute walk to the river Douro and Riberia. There is grocery store nearby. The apartment is very bright and sunny. There is some basic stuff for cooking. There is a washing machine and clothes drying rack, which was super useful, since we could do our laundry.
The company managing the property (Lovely Stay) is very nice and helpful. They were very responsive and helped us with some visit planning. If you get there early, you can leave the luggage in their office till check-in time.
I would have liked to have one more fan in the apartment, because some days can get hot. Also, bathroom light needs to be a bit brighter. And couple extra pillows for the bedroom would be nice to have. Other than that, it was perfect and we enjoyed our 5 day stay. I loved sitting on the balcony, listening to the music below and people watching. I really have no major complaints and would definitely stay here next time. I highly recommend this place if you are visiting Porto!!
