The apartment is very well located, close to the Sé and Sao Bento Metro. It is light and spacious and has a well equipped kitchen. As probably is the case with a lot of apartments in Porto it is rented out by a company, so we missed the personal touch of a private host. However, the communication with the rental company was good, they did everything to make our stay pleasant.
The apartment is quite noisy as it is located on a street with lots of traffic. When a bus or truck drives by you feel the floor vibrating. Inside the sound isolation is also not ideal, you can hear the neighbours walking, talking, washing etc.
There was no cupboard for clothes and taking a shower without the bathroom floor getting wet is almost impossible as the drain is probably to small, as is the glass partition.
As this apartment is € 30 to € 40 more expensive than the other apartments we have been looking at we felt we did not really get value for our money.
