Excellent large stylish comfortable accommodation with speedy communication between ourselves & our hosts, the ease of self check-in, excellent location in historical Porto & walkability to everything! Be sure to walk the shopping restaurant district one street behind the apartment building. It has a great feel especially when the musicians are playing. We highly recommend taking a tuk tuk tour at the start of your visit to get a better feel of Porto in its entirety, thus narrowing all you wish to explore further. As for dining, we highly recommend dining at "Tasco" as the service & gastronomic food is beyond excellent!!! (The veal, filet steak & OMG the date cake with whiskey cream foam was to die for!!) Also worth mentioning are the smoked ribs & steak at "The Ribs"! (Huge portions!) On a less then positive note, be aware that parking in Porto is expensive. Public parking in front of the building is a max of 2 hours (ok for unloading & loading your suitcases). Be prepared to give a euro or two to the men who take it upon themselves to point out the empty spots & hold traffic until you are parked. They are just trying to earn a living as best as they can. Otherwise park your car in the public parking lot which is a bit of a walk but your car is secure with a security guard. (€103 for 3 days/night!) Ask your host or ask at the tour office beside the apartment to direct you. Better yet, don't bring your car to Porto. Once in Porto you don't need it. Overall, we had a wonderful stay & will return, staying at Paul & Rafael's apt again!!
