Terrace Bliss with AC Downtown Porto

Fab apt. Will definitely be back soon.

Nothing not to like.

The apartment is lovely. Nicely furnished, a good size and a comfy large bed. The shower was great too. The added bonus was the lovely terrace to sit out on. Thanks for the bottle of wine and crostini. Very much appreciated. We liked the keypad for both doors as we didn't have to worry about taking keys with us. The apartment was easy to find and from the airport we took the metro purple line E to Trindade (last stop) and then walked 8 mins or so to the apartment. There are some lovely places close by for brunch. Our favourite was Nicolau. We love walking and exploring so this place was great for us as it's about 35 mins walk to the river area (Ribeira).

The area seems a little run down in places but is up and coming. Not a problem for us. It may be too far a walk for some as Porto fairly hilly but again, we enjoyed the location.

Jéssica was a wonderful host and assisted us in many ways during our 4 week stay. Any problems that arose, she handled quickly and with professionalism. She went out of her way to handle an initial snafu on renting the property. The location is a good balance of proximity to the downtown/old city and slightly removed from the hustle bustle.

The balcony with its night lighting was the best features for us. There is a small carpark but it is locked and had no noise so it was not an issue. The bed was really comfortable and the air con was appreciated!! The kitchen is compact but had everything we needed and there was a separate dining area although we didn't use it - I refer you back to the great balcony!!!

The location is up and coming. There were some other tourists using the street and we had no problems. I happily popped up to the local supermarket but I wouldn't have felt totally comfortable walking alone in the dark. When we went out together we were comfortable.
