It is such a nice place to stay as family and the view was stunning as well. At first Sofia introduced basic information with two paper sheets such as transportation, restaurants, places to visit and things to do. Although we’ve studied about Oporto, her information helped more. Also she answers promptly and very kind as well. I really appreciate to your host.
Pretty much everything was in walking distance. We could walk to Clerigos tower and there are fancy and nice restaurants and shops, cafes around that area. Lello bookshop was just around the corner of the tower. Also we walked down to the river and visited the Palace. Se Cathedral was only 8 min distance. Even my 3 year-old-son walked to everywhere with us.
Since we were traveling with seniors and small kids we took all kinds of transportation a lot and the place was really easy to get everywhere. We used Sightseeing bus and the bus stop was just around the corner (3min walk I guess) and used Uber sometimes it was really convenient and quiet cheap. Tram stops near the University of Porto which is just a street away.
At first, the area looked very old but we found really small but really fancy and nice restaurants (inc. tapas bars) between old houses. You should look closely otherwise could miss them. : ) If you stay in this place, I really recommend the restaurant just in front of the apartment, yellow building( forgot the name), the view is fantastic, the food is really nice, the price is good and the staffs are really kind.
We loved this place. We stayed here for a week and could feel at home. It was equipped with everything for people to live comfortably and had nice interiors. The room size is good and the beds were good to sleep. Nice and clean bedding. The balcony was fantastic place to have morning coffee and wine at night. The night view is very romantic. Most of all, it was clean and easy to clean. We could enjoy old and new of Porto staying at this place. Strongly recommend.
