We have spent many years staying in medium-priced rented holiday properties around the world, and this rates as one of the best. It was extremely good value for money, and its facilities, central location, and general quality could not be faulted. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom/shower was really good, with loads of nice towels.

The terrace/balcony was small, but perfectly adequate with comfortable seating. It's south facing, and so gets the sun throughout the day.

There was a Lonely Planet and other helpful tourist guide books in the apartment, which we usually do not find. Pedro also personally took us through what Porto had to offer for a 5 day stay, including good recommendations for places to eat.

We also do not usually find such a well-stocked fridge in places we rent, and this was supplemented by a nice bottle of wine, a few beers, and a small bottle of complimentary port.

In general, Pedro could not have been more helpful - he met us off the airport metro, emailed us during our stay to check that all was OK, and met us at the apartment at the end of our stay to escort us back to the metro station (which is literally 2 minutes' walk away). He was also very flexible regarding our check-out time, which allowed us to remain in the property into the late afternoon, given our mid-evening flight home.
