Apartment Alegria Street by Sweet Porto - Free Parking

Sweet Porto is a business with an expanding portfolio and good responsive management. Light, modern attractive large studio first floor apartment in old building - hence some noise from other apartments. It is situated in the popular Bolhao area near the market - a real experience to visit. Very well equipped. Excellent a/c. It had a lovely large “grassed” open space with dining decking area but unfortunately the street was very busy and noisy all the time. Useful information in the flat eg map with eating and other areas marked. Bit confusing to start - sent a key code for one number in the street to access the free parking (a real bonus) a few doors down, and the apartment was nearby in yet another third building! Satnav a real aid in locating all this in very busy traffic! Warning! The carpark has a narrow opening and has to be accessed at 90 degrees, which means your companion stopping the very busy traffic. There is then a steep narrow way down under the building to the open parking beyond. Exiting is also an adventure! It is a good location with a downward walk of approx 20/25 minute walk down to the river Douro by the Luis l bridge,,,and longer and longer walk back in the heat uphill! There isn’t a convenient bus or metro route between the two. We would definitely stay here again.

As above, the actual arrival,procedure was a bit tricky eg having to drive round the busy block to park in the street and then access the key code and garage. If cannot walk distances - especially in warmer weather, accessing some sites could be difficult without a taxi.

Everything was first class.

Slippery floors.

Location and spacious premise

Sofa and bed too soft

Location is perfect, close to attractions and very convenient with no.of restaurants & supermarket nearby 👍🏼

Parking is not with the same block and no lift to access to the floor, heavy luggages need to pick up & down👎🏼
