Location, location, location! Smack in the center of the old town. Super short 5 minute walk to both the Sao Bento train and Metro station. Even though you are right in the middel of all the action, the apartment is just around the corner in a super quiet residential side street. The host warned us about potential construction noise (all of Porto is undergoing construction) but we did not notice much, besides we were exploring town during the day. The apartment is a top remodel and has AC but we did not need it as we opened up the lovely windows. Our party consisted of two adults and one 6 y/o child which worked well in the apartment. We just wished the mattresses were a bit more comfortable. We did not meet the host upon but were given the access code before arrival. The host has several excellent suggestions, mainly for food, in the apartment. The best food places are just north of the apartment whereas a lot of the sights are just south or around the apartment. The host's recommendation was spot on and we truly enjoyed the food. We spent two days walking in the city, no need to Uber around or have a car. However, you can hop on the extensive public transportation system just around the corner. We arrived by train from Lisbon and took the Metro to the airport, both 5 minutes away from the Sao Bento stations. Overall, an excellent place and I don't think you can get a better location.
