The neighborhood is lovely and central, with cute cafes and restaurants nearby. The view from the window was our favourite part. The flat is small, but great if you're looking to spend most of your time out in Porto. If there was one downside, it was the noise of the gulls outside during the night -- it was enough to wake us up. However this wasn't enough to detract from the trip and our experience in Porto. The flat was a great base for us.
