View...wow! Best in town! It's not right downtown or right in the mix of local nightlife, which we kind of like, so, the location was great for us...short walk downhill to the Caisa do Riberia and short walk uphill and into downtown. We also walked across the nearer bridge (Pte. do Infante) first day and over to the 'hood across the river (Gaia I think it's called? Been a long trip) and many times just down the hill and across Ponte Luis 1, and back and back and forth. Nice walking around on both sides of the river; porto tours and tastings on the other side, boat tours leaving from our side, and from the river up into the beautiful winding streets of Porto...what a beautiful city!
Filipe's place - had a lockbox, easy to get into, wifi worked fine. It was well-stocked, with extra toilet paper and other supplies in the cupboard, including a few cold beers in the fridge, which was appreciated. It's small but we knew that so the space was fine for us. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like hills but, if you have issues with walking up hills, you won't be able to enjoy Porto at all. The one thing is that the bathroom is very small! Shower - small. Toilet - even smaller. By that, I mean that the girlfriend had trouble squeezing into the space and she's not big; I planned my sit down moments off-site, at a market down the road (Teatro I think it's called - nice space with a group of overpriced vendors for snacks and drinks, and very nice washroom). Overall, I would recommend it as long as the description above suits your needs.
