The staff consistently demonstrate courteous behavior and exhibit a strong willingness to assist guests. The apartment is adequately equipped for a brief stay. Nevertheless, a significant limitation is the absence of a washing machine, which is particularly critical for travelers with children.

Very close to some great restaurants and cafes, the main shopping street, plus right by the large undercover food market which was excellent. Also a very walk-able distance to all the main sights in Porto. All in all, a great place to stay and we...
