This apartment was a great fit for me. It's a studio that's managed entirely as a guest rental, and it's basically like having a luxury hotel room with a kitchenette and balcony for a fraction of the price. Everything is modern, well-maintained, and spotlessly clean. Everywhere I went in central Porto I saw tourists, but this location is away from the main hubbub and feels a little more like "real life". A few blocks away I found an automatic laundromat to wash my clothes, and I even found a small drying rack in the closet to hang my delicates on the closed-in balcony. As long as you're reasonably able-bodied, restaurants, sights, and supermarkets were also in comfortable walking distance. Pedro, the host, was kind, responsive, sent some nice recommendations for local places, but was also politely hands-off. The only thing you might want to be aware of before settling in is that a train runs under the building a few times a day and it can feel like a tiny earthquake. It's quiet, though, and you get used to the jostling. I would definitely stay here again and I'm grateful to Pedro and his family for offering this nice spot in Porto.
