We were warmly welcomed with precise directions to the apartment and given a tour upon arrival. We also received many excellent suggestions for activities to do in Porto and the surrounding areas, both north and south.
The apartment is quite modern, closely resembling a hotel suite. It was clean, well-furnished, and the inclusion of a dedicated indoor parking spot was greatly appreciated, especially considering the difficulty of street parking in August. The apartment is conveniently located near all major attractions in Porto, with most being within a maximum of a 15-minute walk. Additionally, it offers a pleasant view of the Ponte de Luis and the Monastery.
Please note that we visited during a heatwave, and as indicated, this unit does not have air conditioning. It was quite hot, even with all the fans running. Moreover, since it is on the first floor, we noticed some noise from neighbors (such as footsteps and dogs), and the neighborhood can be somewhat loud, especially during the weekends when the windows need to remain open to alleviate the heat.
