This is the perfect place to stay in Porto! We loved the location near Batalha Square. There is a cervejaria right next door, a nice cafe at the corner and a great breakfast place (Bom Gosto 2) right around the corner. Everything in town is walking distance and easy to access. The neighborhood was local, safe and fun.
The place itself far exceeded our expectations. The pictures do not do the inside of the apartment justice. The apartment is huge. The main room/kitchen area has very high ceilings and there is plenty of space in this area. The room is airy, very naturally light and comfortable. There is a large table where you can eat and there is comfortable furniture in the living room. The kitchen has all of the main amenities, but we did not use anything but the refrigerator.
The bedrooms are also very large and comfortable, with 2 bathrooms that are modern and very big as well. There are air conditioning units in each room that work well. The apartment faces the street, but the windows cut out most noise and there are full length shutters that close and help with noise and keep the rooms dark.
Accessing the apartment was easy and well described. There were some nice gifts on our arrival and Anna was there to meet us even though we were late arriving. She responded promptly to questions and gave a good list of suggestions for the city. To be honest, we followed her suggestions for restaurants and places to visit and our stay in Porto could not have gone any better.
I would give this place 10 stars if AirBnB would let me! We will definitely stay here again in the future.
