We loved this apartment so much. I would live here long-term. It is top floor and has amazing views. There is a sun room at the front (faces east/south) and back (faces west) that collects the wonderful winter sun & warmth & creates incredibly pleasant spaces. (It would be lovely at warmer times of year, too, with windows open or sitting out on the large terrace.) The bedrooms face east for lovely morning sun and are basically a full wall of glass. The beds were very comfortable. The tri-level design is delightful. The floors & trim are beautiful wood. Everything is very solid, well-built, and authentic. The location is very convenient - just 5 min walk downhill brings you to the pedestrian portion of Santa Catarina, & in another 5 min you are at Bolhau area & metro. Five minutes walk north and you are at the lovely Marquês square & metro which is just 2 stops from Trindade or 4 from São Bento station. This square has restaurants, cafes, & bakeries. If you head west/south from the apartment, you go through a lovely neighborhood of narrow cobblestone streets & across rua do paraíso to the Faria Guimarães metro. You are away from the crowded tourist areas here but they are easily accessible. This apartment is in an older building (1960s?) that is pleasingly retro & in good & clean condition, with a small but trustworthy little elevator that we were so happy for, considering this is a 4th floor apartment. The apartment also, though older, is very clean & in great condition, with good heating. Paula the owner was very accessible & helpful. The one downside was that the car traffic on Santa Catarina can be loud in the bedrooms at night. We were not bothered by this & slept well here despite jet lag. Staying in this wonderful apartment played an important role in our utterly delightful week in Porto.
