The location is perfect to discover Porto from there, you can walk to different areas as well as take public transport or tuktuk down the street. The own-places-at-Clerigo team is very efficient and reactive when i needed help for practical details . It was less noisy than I thought (with windows shut at night though) but many stairs indeed. Yet, my children were so fond of the appartment -they loved their bedroom and the living-room) that they nether complained about stairs. We were there late august and the temperature was around 23.
