Beautiful contemporary apt with large terrace
The apartment was on the second floor of an older building, but was easy to get up the stairs. Once you do, it's beautiful! Totally remodeled, 2 bedrooms, large kitchen with full size fridge and washing machine. Large sitting room with tv and dining room with table and chairs. The highlight is the terrace which is exactly as shown in the pictures and it is private. Just make sure not to close the sliding door when you go out as it locks from the inside!
I do agree with a previous review that the noise from the street goes on all night, if you're a light sleeper you may need to move to the sofa as I did.
Great location, walked everywhere in Porto and convenient to 2 metro stations. We walked to the market most mornings. Good, local restaurants very close by, no need to go too far for a delicious meal!
The only thing that may be offputting is that there are at least 2 doors ways, 1 across the street and 1 a few doors down that "ladies of the night" do business from. They are there day and night, which was a little off putting, but they did not bother us.
Oh and there is construction next door,,, the walls were ripped out and you could see in from the terrace. Noise started at 8am and went until 5pm during the week. We weren't home during those times so it was no bother but looks like it could go on for a while.
All in all, a beautiful place within walking distance to all Porto has to offer, highly recommend!
