The apartment itself is fine. The kitchen has all you need to cook whatever you like. The bed was pretty comfortable. Bedroom needs a few shelves to be made available for guests clothes. The TV had plenty of good international channels including news and movies. The building is modern and tidy. I liked going to the Bom Sucesso food court in the morning for a good breakfast, about a 10 minute walk away. Theres also a very good supermarket in the mall next door. You can walk into the centre or down to the river without much difficulty, however I always took the 403 bus back from along the riverside to Bom Sucesso mall, as the 2.5 km vertical climb from the river is far too tough for me ! On the downside the neighbours have a bad habit of leaving the front door wide open ! Porto may have low crime, but why invite it ? What I didn't appreciate about the place is they are building a housing complex directly in front of the apartment. I specifically asked the owner about this before renting it, who assured me that the construction was almost over and noise would be to a minimum. Well, the main building work may be over, but I don't like to wake up to the sound of circular stone cutting tools at 8 AM, which was on about 5 of my 9 days there. For that reason it's not a suitable place to hang around during the daytime at the moment, if you like peace and quiet ! The owners should change the photo of the terrace showing wasteground below, because that is now the new complex being built. The owner was nice and helpful and I don't want to be mean, but I had to sleep with earplugs because of the construction noise ! You can cancel a lot of the noise by closing all windows, but then the apartment becomes too hot.
