We had a great 3 week stay at Joel's place, which is very conveniently located. You want to go to Porto - 20 minute walk across the bridge, same for both sides of the Rivera very all the restaurants and bars are located. You want to go to the beach, taking the train which is a 1 minute walk away for 20 minutes and you are there, the trip is only 3 Euros btw. There are a lots of bakeries and a small supermarket in the immediate vicinity. Below the train station is also a Parking lot where you can leave your car for 35 Euros for an entire month.
The place is surprisingly quiet if you close the balcony doors. When left opened both the street noise in the living room as the seagulls and dogs from the streets below the terrace can be distracting if you have a light sleep.
And the best of course is that magnificent terrace where we would enjoy one amazing sunset after another while dining outside. Just amazing.
