Despite outside appearances, the flat was bright, secure and felt like a home away from home while we were in Oporto. Very good communication with hosts and Paula was even able to meet us early. Very central within a few meters of one of the main city squares. Plenty of food, drink and entertainment options close by (great coffee shop just meters away). Immediate access to metros, city buses and tourist buses. Beds were comfortable and decent sized. The street was quite noisy on Friday night however this could be expected anywhere in the central area. It's was also quite light in the apartment at night (curtains are not block out). Would highly recommend.
