This was a great property with excellent amenities. It was spacious and clean. We had slight trouble with checking instructions, but these were resolved in a timely manner and we enjoyed our stay.

Centrally located just one block from Santa Catarina and across the street from the Via Caterina Shopping Mall! Mercado Balhao is right around the corner!
A mom and pop coffee shop is right downstairs as well as a fantastic little bistro serving excellent rustic Portuguese food. And, there are two supermarkets within one and two blocks.
I was able to walk 1-2 miles to some of the attractions including the riverfront, McDonalds Imperial and Livario Lello but we mostly used Bolt.
The owner/host Alexandria was so incredibly accommodating to our needs and requests. She goes over the top to make your visit a success.
The apartment is very spacious and perfect for 4-6 people.

While Alexsandra was responsive, she kept changing her mind about check-in/ extra payment for another night. During check-in, the keys were in a different box (with a different code) than what she texted us. We had tried to go through the VRBO app to book extra night, no response. She asked us to bring cash, but changed her mind after we checked in -- she wanted a bank transfer. Since we don't have a Portugal bank account, no bank allows that. We wasted our last morning in Porto trying. For this VERY noisy location, shutters are a must. The bedroom shutters were broken: the bedrooms were LOUD and LIGHT. Alexsandra promised someone would fix them. That did not happen. Our sleeps were terrible for the entire week's stay. The pictures make the apartment look much nicer than it is. The second bathroom is tiny, so poorly designed that it's impossible to shower without getting water all over the floor. Be aware: There is NO OVEN, only a stovetop. There were no instructions for the stove or the washing machine. Lots of back and forth texting to try to understand use. Also no instructions for throwing out garbage/ recycling. Every other VRBO we've stayed at has some sort of instruction booklet. Alexsandra did text recommendations for local restaurants and grocery stores. She also had her son bring over a gift basket, which we appreciated as well.
