Osvaldo's apartment is in a very good location in Espinho. The apartment is not at the sea front yet near it, which we felt was an advantage. The beach is only a 5 minute walk away. There are cafes and restaurants nearby. There are a number of big supermarkets within walking distance too.
The apartment itself is more spacious than it looks in the photographs. It is on the 4th floor in a friendly block of flats. The apartment is clean and has all the necessary amenities. The kitchen is well-equipped.
Osvaldo is a good communicator and a charming host.
We particularly enjoyed going to a nearby restaurant called 'Taverna Soninha' and spent quite a few evenings playing games in 'Meio Litro' bar, all within walking distance. We enjoyed the fact that Porto is so near (a 20 minute train ride away) and enjoyed going to Santa Maria Da Feira and Miramar beach. The children enjoyed going surfing every day at the local Espinho beach. We would certainly want to stay in Osvaldo's flat again if we decide to go back to Espinho on holiday.
