Mathieu”s Place is in a perfect location for exploring Porto which we did mainly by foot. There’s are loads of places to eat and drink nearby and Mathieu was really helpful with regular tips about the best places locally and further afield. The old town where the apartment is , is a great place to explore but it’s really worth venturing elsewhere also and the buses are good and easy to use. We went to the beaches several times using the 500 bus. The flat itself is a perfect size for 6 people and there is a bed settee I believe but we didn’t use it. I think more than 6 would be overcrowded. Every thing we needed was provided. We didn’t need to ask Mathieu for any changes but he was very approachable and friendly and I am certain he would sort any problems out quickly. He sent us regular messages with ideas for things to do and places to go. Although we didn’t do everything he suggested it was really lovely to have the thoughtful messages.
