My husband, toddler (1.5 years) and dog Benny stayed at Nuno & Raquel's apartment for 6 nights. They were both there to meet us and helped us with our luggage into the lift (2nd floor, really the 3rd). They were there to say goodbye as well. It was a great value; extremely clean; lots of linens available; comfortable beds.

The apartment is really well laid out, completely new and renovated and so well done. Its got its vintage features, like the parquet flooring with modern conveniences like modern shower, kitchen, etc. It is very bright.

There are 2 bedrooms. The main/large one faces the street and has 2 twins (pushed together). Lots of space. The smaller bedroom has a full sized bed and has a small window - it is the quieter of the 2. The bathroom and kitchen were well sized. The washing machine has its own space in a utility closet/storage room in the apartment.

The only issues we had concerned street noise. The apartment is located on a main road, and is loud especially during rush hour. Porto seems to be undergoing some urban renewal, thus there is construction around the city. So, there is a construction site and crane across from the apartment. It wasn't a bother at night.

The apartment is very close to the São Bento metro and train station, bridge to Vila Nova de Gaia, and very easy to get anywhere by foot. There's a little convenience store right downstairs (practically) that had long hours and super easy. There's also a bakery we would get morning rolls.

Nuno and Raquel were kind enough to have some pantry items and basics like yogurt and juice that we could use. They even left Benny a can of dog food! We had asked if they had baby items - they only had a travel crib, but upon our request, they purchased a baby tub and high chair. They even gave our daughter a gift. These little touches and kindness are what airbnb are about.

So the only issue we had was with the street and construction noise (which isn't awful). As long as that is not an issue for you, we would recommend the apartment!
