Bruno wasn't available when we arrived but we had no problem obtaining the keys from the shop next door.
Bruno's email communication is excellent, he allowed us to check-in an hour early at 14.00 as our flight arrived at Porto airport at 09.35.
The apartment is stylishly and minimally furnished to maximise the space, the bed large and comfortable, good shower although you have to climb over the toilet to access it, we didn't use the TV or stereo, the kitchen is adequate to cook your own meals should you wish to. We did lots of cooking, there are local speciality food shops and a good supermarket with an amazing selection of chorizo within 10 minutes walking distance and the recycling/binbags go in the bins at the top of the street. (there are no instructions in the apartment, which was great - who wants a list of dos and don'ts!!) The Portuguese are so laid back.
The view from the kitchen balcony is beautiful - a little turreted tower, It felt very exotic dining there at sunset.
The area where the apartment is situated couldn't have been better for us.....quirky/alternative with lots of individual, unusual and vintage shops (in the back streets off the main drag)
There was even a vinyl record shop/vegan cafe - great combination!
We were prepared for the noise from the bar after reading previous reviews so took industrial earplugs - a MUST if you want to sleep earlier than 04.00 Thursday through Sunday.
The only negative for us was the lack of air-conditioning which we knew about before booking the apartment but after 5 days of the temperature in the 30s the bedroom became almost unbearably hot and humid to sleep in. There was a vintage fan that didn't work but luckily the weather cooled down on the 6th day.
Porto is fantastic, I could happily live there and recommend this lovely , value for money apartment.
