Porto is a great mixture of old and new Portugal. Although it rained most of the time we were there we were able to enjoy the city on the old trams and the Douro valley on a wonderful excursion boat and train tour while having a comfortable home base to return to after each day’s excursion. We particularly enjoyed our interactions with Eduardo, a kind, very helpful and conscientious ambassador of good will. We enjoyed the shops and restaurants around the apartment and were pleased with Diana’s quick responses to all our queries.
