This apartment worked wonderfully for our extended family of 8. Everyone was able to have their own room and privacy. Jose is an amazing host that welcomed us with a fruit basket and other snacks and some port wine! He was very communicative and gracious. We did have to meet in person to check in so just be prepared to have working cell phones to coordinate (I was relying on wifi everywhere but thankfully someone in our group had an international plan). The location is excellent, right bu the Harry Potter book store and some great small restaurants. Walking distance to the river (though hilly!). Other commenters mentioned noise but we had no issue with that-we travel with sound machines anyways! I wish we had more time in Porto!
