The apartment matches exactly what is shown. It is well equipped and is clearly maintained. Another guest mentioned that Porto can be cold in the Winter; that's true, largely due to the high humidity in this season. However, the apartment has a wall AC/heater unit and an oil heater that are enough to warm up the space. The kitchen / living / dining room are very bright, given the three glass doors to the balcony, which are the height of the wall. The bathroom could have better light, but is also very well equipped. The apartment does not have a drier. Helena and her husband were very helpful in accommodating my arrival and getting the AC to work. The neighborhood is an interesting mix. It is downtown, 5 minutes away from the nearest Metro stop, and there are bus stops and taxis in the area. It faces a garden and is across from Porto's old public library (worth a visit). This area (S. Lázaro) has clearly seen different periods of evolution, from the lively bourgeois life that made Porto what it is, to a slightly more neglected period, and now seems to be picking up again, with hip coffeeshops in the area; this mix actually makes the zone quite safe.
