Not only the OCA Flores hotel was perfectly located on a pedestrian street (cabs are allowed to drive on these street to drop you off) in the middle of Porto, but the staff was wonderful. They offered tons of valuable advices such as things to do (one of our favorite was to walk all the way to the beach town and take the old cable car back), transportation options (the Sao Bento train station is a 10 minutes walk and allows you to reach the main train station), and dinner options. This hotel was the perfect find. It also had a rooftop garden which i assume would be great for a drink in warmer months. The room we had was great (facing the back so no view but very quiet). The only Con i see was the tub in the bathroom. It was very high and slippery which i can see being an issue for older people.
