Our stay here exceeded our expectations. We were greeted with a warm welcome and was given a tour of the apartment. We was also informed with local tips and travelling information. It was very helpful that maps was also supplied too!
The place itself is very cosy and chic and I must say that myself and my friends had great sleeps in the beds provided.
All amenities that you need are included, with little surprises here and there such as card and board games!
Although the apartment is on the opposite side of the central town, transport is not a problem. We caught the very quick boat trip across the river around the corner from the apartment. Each person is 2 euros and a bicycle a further 1 Euro. We decided once on the other side to travel by tram as it’s more exciting than a bus. However, if you want to get to a place quick I would suggest getting an Uber or a bus as the trams didn’t come on time any of the occasions we tried to catch it. At times we waited 30-40mins.
The apartment is a very short distance to a local market/corner shops/bakery and restaurants. The locals are very friendly and having come from Lisbon prior to Porto we can honestly say we felt very relaxed and did not have to worry and preferred it to Lisbon.
We spent a day on the beach which is approximately a 15-20 min walk away and it wasn’t busy for a Saturday which was ideal. We didn’t explore much so are unsure of whether further down had any amenities.
Overall a great trip and wished we could stay longer!
