An extremely spacious, well equipped, comfortable apartment with huge windows making it very sunny and bright. We were met by Manuela who gave us loads of useful information on her adoptive city - her enthusiasm was very much appreciated!
The apartment is literally at the highest point of Porto - terrific leg exercise up and down those hills, but in a real neighbourhood area which we particularly liked as the city has become swamped with tourists in the downtown/riverside zone. Very close to Marquez metro that runs to the airport in 30mins and the main train station (a work of art well worth a visit in itself!). From there it is cheap and easy to visit the attractive city of Aveiro and the outstanding train trip up the Douro Valley. Very happy to recommend João’s apartment as a base to visit the area.
