This apartment has great historic character and a secluded ambience to come home to after a day of exploring the city on foot. Perfect location for experiencing the vibrancy of Porto but nicely set back from the road with a view over the park. We saw some review comments about noise from the street before we booked. Think this would be a given anywhere in central Porto as there are restaurants everywhere. The windows are double-glazed and the bedrooms away from the street so we didn't find noise to be an issue. Its a trade-off for having a nice public park and eateries right outside your door! Would certainly stay here again. The restaurant (Ze Bota) in the alleyway at the back of the apartment is so good if you want to try local cuisine. Recommend going at opening time as it has a good reputation and can be hard to get a table.
