Sonia's apartment is a beautiful, spacious place to stay while in Porto. The high ceilings, arches, loft and large windows make it easy to feel like a part of Porto. The location is easy to get to the Pte Luis bridge to pop over to Gaia for a port tasting. In the opposite direction is Rue das Flores, which is a lovely walk for cafes and shopping. One sad note, not for light sleepers. There is currently a lot of construction. And there are church bells that ring every day from 8a till 9p. For New Yorkers, it wasn't a problem, but light sleepers may have some trouble.
