All the reviews are true. This was our second visit to Porto and were pretty sure we wanted to be in Foz to avoid the crowds and noise of the historic center. We had many criteria -- washer, elevator, view, terrace, full kitchen. Paula's place was just as described and very good value. A two minute walk to the beach and many, many restaurants and bars within a 2 to 10 minute walk. They range from local and modest to Michelin starred. We loved being able to alternate between cooking at home (the kitchen is fully equipped) and going out. Walking by the water was a favorite. We walked from Matosihinos to the apartment and almost all the way to Porto. Walked one way to the Serralves museum and the other way to the aquarium. We didn't have a car and couldn't quite figure out the bus passes so Uber'ed when someplace was too far to walk. An Uber is never more than 5 minutes away and almost no where you might want to go is more than 7-10 Euros. Such a pleasure not to drive for a month. Highly recommended
