This apartment is very nice with high-end finishes. It is spacious and felt very clean. There is a lovely and sizable terrace that my wife and I used routinely. I would recommend this apartment to my friends and family, and I would certainly stay here in the future. Porto is a lovely city, and would be great to return one day. This apartment would definitely be on my list.
The hosting company was kind and helpful. I had some issues with the check-in process, but we got them all resolved.
As far as the area, there is a pedestrian street nearby with lots of shops and restaurants. The apartment is in a perfect area in my opinion. You feel isolated but still near many attractions. We did not use any public transit as we could walk mostly anywhere in 25 minutes or so. The two adjacent buildings are not occupied, so you really feel private. There were not many other tenants in the building when we rented the apartment, so it all felt very tranquil.
The parking is tight for a larger car, but we were able to fit our large SUV with some maneuvering.
One downside is the master bedroom bed is smaller. We are a smaller couple, but still prefer a queen size equivalent bed to spread out. This bed was smaller than a queen. It was not a major issue, and it may not be an issue for some. Just something we noticed.
