OMG, Luis´s flat is just the perfect stay in Porto! Looking forward to discovering the old town as well the new areas of Porto? You are right in the middle of both! A 10 min walk toward the historical centre with already on the way lots of shops, bars and restaurants. Matosinhos (beach & surf possibilities) can be reached easily by bus (bus stop 20 meters from the flat / 2 euro 1 way / 25min). From there please walk along the seaside toward Porto. You can hop on the traditional tram once in Cantareira (mouth of the Douro river) to make your day complete.
Btw, all these tips were given by the amazing host Luis! He was already waiting at the door for my arrival and explained not only his flat with much care and love but also what to do & expect from Porto. He send me an enormous list with his favourite places and things to discover. I never experienced something before. Just amazing!
The flat is much more spacious as expected and beautifully minimalistic & trendy decorated. The sunny balcony is a great added value. Please enjoy your morning coffee, afternoon relax or evening wine & dine as I did. Even when you catch a rainy day, you can unwind here as you can turn the balcony into a cosy wintergarden.
I can highly recommend this flat and cant wait to return myself.
Thank you again, Luis for making my stay just WoW!
