The unit we rented was in a newly renovated historic building and they did a nice job with the finishes. The check in was so convenient with the key code entry right on the front doors, the check in directions were very clear, the unit is easily found due to the big "BJ" letters on the front and there was no need to visit an office to pick up or drop off a key. The unit is a walk up-- so anyone with limitations or a large amount of luggage should know this beforehand. The apartment had really plush towels and it was nice to have use of a washing machine mid trip. The kitchen was new too-wish we had more time to use it. There are a few small markets and a bakery close by. We enjoyed walking around and exploring the city of Porto --its a bit of a hike to the river area but we loved seeing all the different old buildings along the way. The city has some really nicely remodeled historic architecture and some gorgeous buildings that need saving all mixed up on most streets. It made us happy to see so many being saved. We had a rental car and easily found a metered parking spot across the street. (We got a $12 Euro parking ticket the first night because we didn't see the ticket machine at first--- it was located down the street a ways, but the directions on how to pay it online were on the ticket and there are directions on the side of the ticket machine for an app where you can pay for parking via your phone. Overall, we really enjoyed Bom Jardin!
