Check-in and communication were very good. The apartment was as advertised and as it appears in the photos. It is recently renovated and very spacious. The location is very central with many shops and restaurants within a 5-15 minute walk. Here are a few additional items to know: The apartment is in a very lively location and on a busy street. Porto seems to be very loud and late-night. Although the windows and doors are high quality, there is still noise throughout the night. Also, the second floor is under the slanted roofline. I am 6'1"/185 cm and could not stand upright in the upstairs bathroom, or in much of the upstairs.
