We enjoyed the nice clean room and excellent shared facilities. The kitchen is almost like at home. Everything available! (washing machine included). The metro is only 50 steps away... and in 5 minutes you're on Matosinhos beach if you like. A few more minutes brings you to R. Herois de Franca, plenty of excellent fish restaurants.
In busy weekends it may be difficult to find parking in the near neighbourhood of the appartement.
