  : The location was great, a short walk to all the the attractions, really close to So Bento station.The apartment itself was cute, small and quite basic, area around us wasnt particularly noisy for this time of the year. Nice enough for a few nights. Other reviews mentioned hearing neighbours through floors or walls, which I feel like is a given if you stay in old town or older areas of Porto- I had ear plugs so if there was noise it didnt bother me, but just to note for others, but we only really had 1 night where we heard people.Was great having a washing machine, was just unfortunate that we had to go buy laundry detergents
  : Some suggestions: Considering we were renting an apartment, we felt it was short of a few basic things that even most hostels have which was why it loses some points. There were no toiletries (Soap in the shower was empty) and hardly any soap to wash dishes. It would have been nice to have been left with at least 2 Nespresso pods or instant coffee - there was a machine but nothing there, and very little sugar, no tiny milk or anything. Just a nice thing to have.As mentioned, might have been nice to have at least a little bit of laundry detergent. Not the end of the world, but we had to buy and left it there for the next people.

  : Big room, nice furniture, perfect location, easy to check in and out
  : The bed is 140cm wide I believe, which is on the small side for a couple. It is also a thin uncomfortable mattress and neither of us slept well on it.

Wonderful

  : A good location especially if you fly in Porto and take a train to continue your trip to another city. There is plenty of space for two and natural light from windows facing the courtyard (no traffic/construction noise at least during our stay).
  : The bed mattress was too soft for our preference.

  : It was quiet and the bed was pretty comfortable
  : The bathroom walls could do with a more thorough wipe down, but other than that it was very clean

Fair

  : Convenient location, no need for public transport
  : I understand this is not a hotel but I am afraid the flat needed some serious upgrade in cleanliness to meet what we consider basic hygiene standards.- There were multiple hairs on the pillow, duvet and bed sheet- There were at least two patches of dark stains on the duvet- There was a hole in the bed sheet- One of the towels had orange-ish stains- There were hairs on the bathroom walls- The kettle had weird red coloured stains - but they could be removed with washing up liquid and a sponge, which made me wonder if it was ever cleaned after useage
