We were visiting Porto for four nights, and as we have a baby, my wife wanted a place with a washing machine, which is how I came upon these wonderful apartments. The location is excellent, literally opposite, as in twenty feet away, from a well stocked supermarket, which was open from 8am, seven days a week (not a given in Portugal). The road is pedestrianised, further down, with plenty of interesting eating options, and local shops, and it is perhaps a twenty minute walk before you are in the centre of the city, with a further twenty minutes before you are at the waterfront. As mentioned above, we were traveling with a baby, and a very comfortable cot was provided for her. Very large comfortable bed, and tasteful contemporary interior decor. Water pressure, heat etc was all spot on, in the showers (we had two in the apartment, but only used one). The kitchen was small, but contained most of the things you'd be likely to need, including a full sized fridge and separate freezer, not a tiny unit, which didn't really take everything you'd want to put in it. Staff extremely considerate and helpful, in every respect. We didn't eat downstairs, but this was in hindsight an error on our part, as the food looked very good, was well priced, and we already knew how good the service was. The only thing that wasn't in the apartment, curiously enough, was a bottle opener and a corkscrew. The restaurant downstairs was happy to help, however. We didn't have a car with us, so couldn't say about the parking. I'd be inclined to go with the accommodation's parking, rather than the street, however, as it felt like there was a lot of competition for street parking.
