Great location if you want to be in a little quieter area but with all the necessary amenities nearby. Good supermarket and patisserie next door. Nice walking over the bridge to Porto or take the cable car down to the Gaia side of the river (although pricey at 6 euros for a 2 minute ride down the hill!). The metro is also very close. The apartment is modern and very clean and has accommodation for 8 people, although with some restrictions. For instance, headroom in the loft sleeping area and there is only one sofa in the sitting area - not enough for 8 to all sit and relax, unless you sit at the dining table. We really only used the apartment to sleep and have breakfast and then we were out for the rest of the day and evenings, so it suited our purposes. Telmo is a very good and charming host and offered us a lovely 2 hour boat ride up river, which we enjoyed.
