The apartment is great, in a beautiful, traditional building with shuttered windows and terraces. There are two large bedrooms with en-suite to the (quieter) back of the building and a gorgeous living/dining space. We loved hanging out here as much as anywhere in Porto’s old town. It was too cold to use the outside terrace, but this would be a welcome feature in the warmer months. The location is perfect – just a couple of minutes’ walk from the Cathedral, Sao Bento station and ten minutes to the river. Porto has numerous good restaurants, and we never needed to go far to find one (Raiz, in the same street as the apartment, and Mistu are two of our favourites). Foz, and the Atlantic, is a ten minute drive.
Communication with Pedro was great, and he was very helpful, allowing us a late checkout on our last day. My only tiny complaint is that the Wi-Fi isn’t strong in the bedrooms (it’s fine in the living room), but it wouldn’t stop me staying here again!
