Location, location, location!! This is definitely the best area to stay in Porto, for the views, the atmosphere, and how close and convenient it is to visit the main sights on foot, including the breathtaking sunsets from the various vantage points on the other side of the river, in Vila Nova de Gaia. With this advantage comes the noise, as other reviews have mentioned, so if you want peace and quiet, this apartment is definitely not for you. I loved the music and atmosphere during the day and evening, and came prepared with ear plugs to be able to sleep at night. The noise of boat motors, cleaning machines and restaurants in the morning bothered me more, but again earplugs helped. The apartment itself is cosy and charming, ideal for a solo traveller like my or a couple, although space can be limited.
Rachel was always quick to reply to my messages and extremely helpful. Breakfast goodies were very much appreciated.
All in all, my stay was wonderful, and I have already recommended to friends. I'll come back myself soon.
