Filomena and Walter were absolutely wonderful- they met us at the apartment and helped us get settled and familiar with everything. Filomena shared maps and tips about Porto that made our trip more "local"- there is a good list of restaurants at the house. The apartment itself exceeded our expectations. It was bright and beautiful, with amazing views over the city. The furnishings are hip and modern but the architectural details of the apartment also gave it an old world charm. The shower in the master bedroom was heavenly. It rained the whole first day of our trip and we were happy to hole up there and rest after a few hectic weeks of wedding preparations- we were on our honeymoon. The location of the apartment was also perfect for us. It's on a cute park where residents bring their dogs in the afternoon. It was away from the tourist hustle of the Ribiera, but within walking distance of all that you have to see and do in Porto. The walk home is all uphill, though, so be prepared! Porto itself is a very cool town that surprised us with its mix of historic and truly modern buildings. We would love to come back and stay at Filomena's gorgeous apartment again in the future!
