The thing that matters most to me is a smooth arrivals process, and this was carried out to perfection. There is a wonderful pastelaria downstairs. The University of Porto students really like to party, so be prepared for a bit of benign exuberance. Nice bed, plenty of pillows and towels, and a wonderful shower head. Beautiful view of the Igreja do Carmo and its twin church. They have bells, but they don't ring. The neighborhood is absolutely swamped with tourists, but mostly the European kind, so if you want to hear a lot of languages, Porto is a great place to come. The Aliados and Trindade metro stations are about equidistant, not terribly close, about a 15-minute walk. Be sure to visit Rei dos Galos de Amarante and have the No. 11 at Casa Guedes. Also, Cevejaria Gazela has a lot of heart. Probably the most photogenic city I've ever visited. Thank you Joana, and the rest of the team.
