The Shining View apartment in Porto was the perfect way to experience our first few days in Portugal. We arrived early in the morning from the airport and David was there to greet us and store our bags until we were able to check in a few hours early. He spent some time with us giving us a ton of great local recommendations and let us know what touristy spots to avoid - it was a great way to get adjusted to the city.
The apartment itself was incredible - the photos in the listing do not do it justice! The panoramic views of the river from the two balconies were breathtaking. We had the perfect view for the Red Bull air race that happened to be going on over the weekend, which was a very cool experience. The location was excellent, we were able to easily walk all over the main part of the city and the ribiera area. There were some very nice local restaurants on the same street as the apartment, which David recommended, but unfortunately we were not able to try them because we didn't make a reservation early enough or a few were closed on Sunday. Luckily it was easy to get around and try some other great spots!

We highly recommend Shining View to anyone looking for a great view and experience in Porto.
