The kitchen is equiped with everything you'll need. The upstairs area is roomy with a both modern and classical feeling. It's very comfortable to stay here for a while.
The large windows upstairs allow for a lot of sunlight, so you'll barely need lighting and it helps with heating up the place. You will need lights downstairs as there is little sunlight coming through the matted window, which also means that it becomes a cold area.
There were some electrical issues that needed the help of a technician, but with the help of the LovelyStay employees that all got resolved.
Other than that it's the perfect appartment to relax, work and live from. Big thanks to LovelyStay for being available virtually all the time and helping out with everything I needed.
The appartment is located in a small and quiet alleyway, almost next door to Sé do Porto and the Ponte Luís. This means that when you leave the appartment you're immediately greeted by amazing architecture and sceneries. It's absolutely stunning. And because the appartment is away from the mainroads, you don't have a noise polution from cars and crowds.
However, there is downside to the secluded nature of the alley and that's the junkies. It's a popular street for using drugs, so you'll daily see people either dealing, smoking crack or stick a needle in their arm.
It's part of a bigger problem in the city as you'll definitely see more homeless people and addicts in this part of the city. More than other parts. The LovelyStay organization informed me that they were planning on making the alleyway only accessible for residents, but there is no ETA on that.
Other than that, you're very close to everything. All parks, shops, restaurants, churches, and bars are within walking distance of the appartment.
You're also right beside the São Bento metro and trainstation, so getting anywhere in the city is a breeze. Public transportation is very well-managed in Porto. And if you don't like public transportation then a taxi ride is relatively cheap and widely available.
The Luis I bridge, Sé do Porto, São Bento station for some history and nice views.
Praça dos Poveiros for lunch. There are quite some good restaurants and cafés around this area with classical dishes like Bifana and Francesinha com ovo. It also has the largest supermarket close the appartment, Pingo Doce.
Walk down to the city center and visit Rua das Flores, which is one of the nicest streets of the city. This street walks straight down to Ribeira, which is quite touristy and crowded, but something you have to have seen.
Around Praça da Lisboa you have BASE Porto where you can have a drink and enjoy the sun. It's next to the Clérigos tower, which you can climb to have a 360 view of the city.
Go north from there and you'll get into the area with the biggest and best selection of restaurants in the entire city.
