We visited with our 19 and 21 year old kids and the location could not have been better, you open the windows to the river and the energy is awesome. It was close to everything we wanted to do, from a bridges tour to a wine tour all out tour front door. We walked the entire stay. The noise was not bad at all eventhough your right in the middle of everything, because the bedrooms were in the back. There are 3 flights of stairs with no elevator, we were teaveling for a few weeks so we had several bags which made it tough initially but once we got in it was more than worth it. I took an uber and they could not get to the front of the unit only a taxi can. When you search Porto one of the first pictures that come up is a picture of where this unit is, highly reccomend. The hosts were very responsive, super friendly and even gave us some pro tips on what to do and see.
