We were greeted personally by João in a very hospitable fashion with a full explanation of experiences to be had in the wonderful city of Porto! The location is perfect for walking throughout downtown and easily down to the Ribiera. We felt secure in leaving our car in the garage and the elevator is incredibly quick. I would ask to be shown how to turn on the hot water for showers if you are not accustomed to the European plumbing style. The apartment is spacious, immaculate, and accommodating for longer stays, if needed. We were very pleased with our decision to stay here.
