This place is great for a one person solo traveler! There are actually 2 of these mini apartments side by side, very thin walls, but not a big deal. You walk through the house to get to your room back in the yard. You do have to pass caged chickens and dogs in the garden. It is in a good location, and I felt fairly comfortable walking back at night alone. I was given a warm welcome by Lurdes' husband who gave me a map and lots of great information about Porto. I really enjoyed Porto, the perfect getaway for a weekend.
