This location is spectacular for a stay in Porto. You could not be more central - it’s so easy to get everywhere. Great restaurants and shops all around.
We will share that this would be a difficult spot for anyone who could not easily do hills or stairs.
Also, for directions, the closest, shortest path on maps is by foot, down a very old, narrow, uneven cobblestone path. It is VERY difficult with luggage or in the rain. The easier option would be to travel around to the lower apartment (number 5) on the other side of the building, at the same address. We had a cab come that way to pick us up. If you want to stay in the centre, this is the reality of how the city was planned. We are travelling for several months, heavier luggage made this a challenge, but worth it.
Also, maps and Marilia’s direction to go left down the narrow pathway, refers to it as a ‘street’. Anyone travelling from North American would not consider this a street so you can easily miss it. We even had a local not able to find it 😆 It is more like a narrow walkway between two buildings.
Marilia helped us with local recommendations and the vibe of the area is busy with tourists but also authentically local.
Would definitely recommend.
