My father (born 1940), my brother and I stayed in Porto for 4 days in January 2020. We simply had a great time.
We have travelled in this set around cities of Europe for the past five years now - and we always found wonderful apartments with fantastic hosts. But I have to admit that this time one thing was different: Usually we used the apartment for breaks, but this flat in Porto was part of our holiday from the moment we enterd it - due to its marvelous view! You don´t even have to leave the house to enjoy Porto!
The area along the riversides is pure magic. And with Joao's place you book a first class seat in this theatre of nature and architecture.
Apart from that, Joao and his wife Carlota are super-reliable, care-taking and cool hosts and the flat comes over excactly as depicted. Simply furnished, but with a sense for style. Everything you need is there. Plus a welcome-glass of port wine, of course.
All things considered: Top-notch!
