We were met by Carlos' son Miguel for the check-in. Miguel was very flexible with regards to our check-in time, and showed us to a parking spot within the courtyard of the building, which was unexpected but welcome.

Miguel was extremely kind and attentive and really took the time to explain to us where to find the best spots in town - known and less well-known - for exploring as well as dining. The apartment was clean, spacious, light and quiet at night. The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom very well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed. We explored Porto on foot from the apartment and didn't need to use any public transportation. The only potential downside to the apartment are the construction works that are ongoing next door, which started at 8AM during our stay. For us this was not a problem, because we intended to get up early anyway, but if you intend to sleep in then I recommend bringing ear plugs. Overall I really recommend staying in Carlos' apartment.
