Spacious and clean property. Close to central Porto and the sights. The lounge area was a little disappointing as there wasn't enough comfortable seating for 4 people and the walls were bare and boring. It didn't really matter that much as we were out a lot but it was a shame as the apartment was very nice in all other ways. Great air con and wifi.
The area around the hotel is quite ugly but then so is quite a bit of Porto. It's actually prettier, in my view, staying in the Villa Nova de Gaia as then you have a nice view of the terracotta roofs.
I would not recommend anyone to park in the car park. I was driving a compact SEAT leon and the entrance to the car park was only just accessible if i turned in the wing mirrors and had 3 people guiding me in. It is also incredibly steep adding to the stress on the experience together with incredibly narrow parking spots when you eventually get though. There were numerous vehicles in the car park with scrapes along the sides of their cars or wing mirrors hanging off.
Best to either avoid bringing a car or park in one of the public car parks because it is a horrendous parking experience!
