The apartment is great value for money. The location next to a large shopping center with lots of restaurants and a hypermarket is also very good. I was very happy that I could do some laundry in the facilities on the first floor. If you have a car, parking is safe and secure. The apartment is a good size with double bed, bath/shower, kitchen, TV and balcony. It was quiet even though the location is next to a busy highway. It's about 10 minutes to central Porto. The host's friend (who speaks English) met me and he was very helpful.

I advise the host to clarify arrival instructions in advance, as it was difficult to understand and deal with while I was driving. For example, the private parking area is quite difficult to find because it is a separate section of the parking for the shopping mall. You have to drive down to level - 1, then take the ramp down to level - 2 (between row R and S on level - 1). This is poorly signposted, which is not the fault of the host, but it was nevertheless frustrating at the end of a long day of driving. Also I could not make the free wifi work. So this is not criticism of the host, just advice to be clearer with the communication in advance.
