Ricardo's place was great. It was much more spacious than expected and nicely furnished. The kitchen was stocked with a good selection of pots, pans, knives, etc. for prepping meals. All appliances, heaters, hot water and locks worked perfectly.
The location of the apartment was perfect for exploring all areas of central Porto on foot. The neighborhood was safe and quite and great to return to after walking to the livelier parts of town. Metro and bus were also conveniently close for going further afield. Several grocery stores and markets within a couple of blocks as well as restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and bars.
Though I never met Ricardo in person, he was great to communicate with. Replied very quickly to any questions and offered lots of suggestions. Overall a great stay!
