My husband and I stayed in the 'grey' apartment (each apartment is named after a colour) on the third floor for four nights. The building is very well maintained and the apartment was lovely, bright and airy. It is very well situated, being just a 350 meter walk from the São Bento train station, perfect if you arrive by train or metro. Quite a few steps up to the third floor if you have a lot of luggage, but we were travelling light.

Luis and Eugenia were great hosts and graciously helped us by printing out the football tickets that we had purchased online. We appreciated that they provided us with a list of recommended restaurants - we tried several and they were excellent - as well as mini-markets, jewelry stores and other places of interest nearby. The hairdryer they provided was the best on our trip! The delivery of fresh bread outside our door every morning was a special treat.

The apartment is on a busy, cobblestone street, close to the river and in the heart of Old Porto. The new windows provide great sound insulation, but if you like to sleep with them open, there will be significant noise from the cars on the cobblestones and the chit chat of passers by.
