The 10 minute walk (up hill) from Sao Bento station Is worth it to make it to this lovely promenade facing apartment. Please know that if you have any physical limitations, this might not be your stay. You will have to walk up 3-4 flights of stairs - we took it in as training since we were in Porto - “The Portuguese San Francisco” and just took out time. Once you get to that apartment you will be thankful for its location - VERY Centralized - and for the lovely views of the promenade and the window stoops that are wonderful in the morning. There is a Large grocery market just around the corner and up the hill and there are some wonderful restaurants just up the hill from the apartment “Maria Rita” sits on a street where we ate at two other restaurants and had some amazing Portuguese cuisine. There is also a wonderful “Francescina” sandwich shop near the grocery store worth visiting. Put on your walking shoes and walk to the pedestrian bridge and to the other side of the river. A bit too touristy but worth the walk. Lovely place and lovely host Ines connected us with Graca who facilitated our check in and gave us many of the suggestion I shared.
