I was there with my family: my spouse and our 3 kids (1.5, 9 & 11 years old). The apartment was fine, a few things to repair but overall clean and well furnished. It is located at about 15 min. walk from the river (careful, it's a steep road!). We couldn't find a decent grocery store close by, only a very smalll one so food needs to be well managed if you don't want to go downtown all the time to eat. Nevertheless I would rent there again if I was to go back to Porto. The service company taking care of the apartment was fast on responding and provided all the information on time. For the parking, you can easily park on the street for free, which I wish this information was given by the company (they referred to us to a paid parking place far away).
