The property has been clearly cherished and carefully refurbished. It will appeal to architectural purists - beautiful round skylight over the stairway, the single piece of polished concrete in the dining area, tasteful combinations of old and modern etc. The location is good for the market. It is a fair uphill walk back up from the main Porto attractions on the river which was fine for us but could be more challenging for others. There is a small supermarket at the end of the street. The breakfast arrangements could be spelt out a little more clearly. Breakfast is served downstairs. Only when other guests began to order omelettes etc did we realise that orders were actually being taken. Other than that, it was fairly basic - scrambled eggs are served on a small side plate, omelettes the same. Once you get your head around that, its fine, but it is not four star as some reviews have stated. It offers a basic, clean and very friendly offering, set within a very well-refurbished building.
