I came to Porto for a dance festival out of town, so for me the location was convenient. If you come for sightseeing, be aware that this is quite remote and in a run down neighbourhood. On the plus side, the room is clean and very quiet. Unfortunately I hadn't noticed that there is no kitchen when I booked, so for me that was a huge disappointment, as I could otherwise gone to a hotel. Luckily I found my replacement kitchen, just a 5 min walk, at 'A Casa da Cristina', a family business with lovely people and a yummy inexpensive brunch.
