Joana and her sister were excellent hosts. Checking in was quick and easy and they were always in communication in the days leading up to our rental. The apartment is in a great location for exploring Porto; it is on a very interesting, and mostly pedestrian street with a ton of shops, cafes, and restaurants. It is within walking distance to all major sites and the metro. You really cannot pick a better place to be in the city for sightseeing, etc. The apartment itself is new and very clean, with a very nice bathroom and a small but useful sitting area. We also loved the double balcony that overlooks the street. The downside is that this can be a bit loud at night on weekends, but the noise was not too bad unless you are a very light sleeper. Our only other criticism is that the current mattress is not very comfortable. Other than that, this is a great choice for seeing Porto!
