This apartment is at the center of everything in Porto but facing a walking street with very few cars so that makes it nice and quiet, even though you are right in the city. Cute shops, restaurants, and cafes are everywhere and a walk to the riverside and even across the bridge to the port lodges of Gaia are easy. Eugenia and Luis made it very effortless to check in (they own the whole building I think) and there were great details and amenities in the apartment we really appreciated (even an iron and board!). We made a dinner a couple nights in the kitchen and it was great-everything you could need was there. The three french windows with narrow balcony are lovely and soundproof but tourists walking down the street towards the apartment have a clear view so no nudity. LOL! Would recommend this apartment to all our friends.
