The AirBnB is centrally located near the Porto waterfront and Flores boulevard - where many restaurants and cafes are located. The train station and metro entrance are also an easy walk away.
The one-bedroom apartment is modern and well appointed. The Nespresso machine, in particular, was welcomed by my husband. The elevator is Euro-style small but sufficiently large to move 2 adults with luggage.
The sound insulation is particularly good given that we never heard the neighbours in the building and or street noises from nearby restaurants, cafes, and bars. Being so centrally located, we were initially concerned about noise, but the apartment is set back within the building and up from the street on the 3rd floor so it ended up being a non issue. Furthermore, if desired, closing the large window shutters can provide an added layer of insulation for sound (& light!).
Another item that caught our attention was the high water pressure at the kitchen and bathroom taps! This AirBnB does not suffer from low water pressure showers. Au contraire. Be warned though, open the taps with care or you may end up toweling off the floor and walls! =)
In summary, it was a great experience with all the convenience of a centrally located AirBnB without any of the inconveniences of an older building (ie. noise, low water pressure, no elevator, etc). Highly recommend this place!
