This is an interesting, quirky apartment, with lots of space on three levels, filled with the host's artwork and collections. We particularly enjoyed the roof terrace in the evenings and the apartment was nice and cool in the day. There are also two other balconies to enjoy. Very clean with everything you need (although, hot water was intermittent) . Great welcome tray and lots of help and tips on enjoying Porto. The host was quick to respond to enquiries and was very helpful. Comfy beds. Good location; just a short walk to metro stations and shops and about 25 minutes walk to the river. Felt safe. Great restaurants/cafes close by. However, unfortunately, when I booked, I didn't see any reviews mentioning the noise. Had I done so, I would not have booked or would have come more prepared. The apartment is on a very busy street with traffic noise all night (even with the shutters and windows closed). It would be OK if you are used to street noise or can sleep through anything, but coming from a very quiet area it was a problem for us. In addition, the lift is noisy and although not in use that much, the building's occupants used it late at night and early morning, which disturbed us. We were also a bit unfortunate with noise from the neighbours, who appear to be musicians - of course, this may not be a disturbance to some people - and barking dogs. These issues are the reason I marked it down on expectations, otherwise, it's a nice place.
