It would be difficult to beat this location for exploring lovely Porto. We had a fabulous week. The apartment was clean, quiet and comfortable. It was chilly the last couple of days of our trip but the heaters in the flat were great. We didn't cook because the restaurants are so good. Lots of useful recommendations in the folder in the flat and we particularly recommend Casa Virtude, Cantina 32, Raiz and Taberna dos Mercadores (book 2-3 weeks ahead). There's a lovely coffee/breakfast house the other side of the church. Marco was easy to communicate with and was very helpful arranging and early taxi to get us back to the airport. Highly recommended!
