We had a wonderful time in Porto with this apartment as our home-base. It was perfectly located for walking to everything in the historic area. We did have a car and were able to park it right in front of the apartment, though we didn't need it at all once we arrived. We got to town at 5:00 just as the festivities for Sao Joao were starting and we were a little worried that the apartment might be a little noisy, but sleeping in the middle bedroom and closing the door between the bedroom closest to the street and the rest of the apartment, we didn't hear a thing.
Ligia was a great hostess, meeting us at the apartment to give us everything we needed to know about the neighborhood, the festival, and the apartment itself.
The apartment is laid out in a long, skinny floor plan and it was a little narrow in the kitchen for two people but the other rooms were great and the little balcony very charming.
The only issue was with the hot water the second day and Ligia was very quick to respond and resolve it for us. I would definitely stay there again.
