The apartment is beautiful - a gorgeous old building, with the most breathtaking garden. Yes, it is a little damp and there's a slight smell, but we decided when booking we'd rather have character and an amazing view than a slightly more modern outfit, and we were so glad when we arrived. The only other thing to note is that you can hear footsteps very loudly from the above flats, but this wasn't an issue for us as the other occupants kept to reasonable hours. Overall, the flat is beautiful, in a super convenient location (round the back of Francisco church and minutes from Sao Bento metro station). Definitely stay here if you're looking for something unique but still practical in Porto!
