Francisco was the best host one could ask for. He rescued us when we were having trouble finding his place due to our limited pourtugese. He spent a half hour with us, describing places to see and eat. All of the recommendations he made were spot on, especially the restaurants. From roast pork sandwiches to the eclectic cuisine of Tapamento, the food was really terrific. The apartment did indeed have two beautiful views, one towards the Duoro and the other over the city. It was very warm in Porto while we were there, but the apartment was very cool, with a cross draft The apartment was well appointed and equipped and everything worked. from the balcony you could look down on the Se and a bustling street scene. At the same time the apartment was very quiet at night. Porto is one of the most wonderful cities we have seen in all our travels, not only or its architecture but even more so or the warmth of its people. When we go back, which we will, we will stay at Francisco's.
