Very central location for a first time visitor like me. Easy to walk to most of the sites. Tons to do, wish my stay in porto was longer. It has a nice kitchen that looked well appointed for cooking as a visitor ate out instead. lI took a cab from the train station when i arrive from Lisbon. I was able to walk to the bus station on departure... after you get past that first street that is uphill and cobblestones the walk became easy (about 12 minutes) and more smooth side walks easier for a roller bags. As apartment was on ground floor it was easy access for those traveling with heavy luggage.
