I would highly recommend staying at Pedro’s Garden House. It is very artistically decorated with everything you could possibly need. (The hairdryer was a godsend). To get to the house we took the metro from the airport directly to Carolina Michaelis and from there it’s about a 10-minute walk downhill. As the accommodation is very central it’s easy to walk everywhere but remember that many of the hills are very steep. The garden house is very quiet at night as it is set away from the road but if you’re coming back at night I’d recommend bringing a torch as the garden is quite dark in places. Must recommend the chicken restaurant across the road. Both cheap and delicious. If we are back in Porto I would definitely look to stay here again.
