We loved the stylish feel of the apartment. The apartment renovation is gorgeous and it felt truly and authentically Portuguese. Check in was easy, we were met at the apartment by a representative for Afonso and got some great local tips for things to do during check in.
The location is very central (5 min walk from Sao Bento station) but you should be prepared for a small walk up hill over cobbled street and for steep stairs within the apartment (typical for the style of apartment). It was so easy to walk around to the main attractions of Porto and Gaia and very close to Rua das Flores, Rua dos Almada and Rua Santa Catarina. It is an uphill walk from the Ribeira and Pont Luis bridge but it is a nice walk. I would recommend this apartment to anyone active and fit.
