We stayed in this lovely Porto apartment for 10 nights so we really got a feel for the place. The apartment itself has been thoughtfully converted faithfully as a typical Portuense block. From outside it's gorgeously tiled with a balcony that stretches from one side to the other and from inside it's pretty good too. It's the perfect amount of recovery space for a couple who need somewhere to relax after one to many hills (or the tenth Super Bock... I'm not judging!) We got the impression that many people stay for a much shorter duration than we did so perhaps we noticed more simply as we were there more. Downsides include that it is on the 3rd floor meaning some pretty steep steps up, if you find climbing them difficult you might have a problem. However it didn't really bother us as the height allowed for the gorgeous skylight in the hallway and the leafy views over the park. We also found some of the contents of the flat a little lackluster including a lack of comfy bed cushions , a rather oversized-for-the-space glass table and an array of well used, and in some cases, slightly broken kitchen equipment. We also couldn't find anything to dry our clothes on, I did ask if there was anything via a message but this was never answered (queue some interesting hanging of washing on all available door handles). The place was also a bit dusty. After contacting someone did come to clean out the bedroom cupboards which was much appreciated. We felt a bit like it wouldn't take much to make the place feel much more luxurious, and in fact, as we were leaving the owners seemed to be doing just that with new furniture and furnishings going in. Location might also be an issue for some, the area itself is in the process of regeneration, not very touristy and is quite loud from the traffic on nearby main roads. This meant it wasn't always very serene to be sat out by the balcony but this place is a city and it's alive, that doesn't stop just because you're on your hols! It's full of locals pottering about the park, playing cards or grabbing an awesome (and absolutely not to be missed) roast pork sandwich from the legendary Casa Guedes on the corner below. The double glazing in the flat is also top notch and filters out almost all the noise so it wont be keeping or waking you up. Porto is small enough that we walked almost everywhere so the flat was a really useful base for us & it not being super touristy was actually a relief and allowed us to feel more like this was our home for our stay. So overall we had a great time, the flat was pretty great for our needs, and should we ever be visiting the wonderful city of Porto again, I would be more than happy to check this apartment out once...
