The first impression you get of a city is very important, especially when the city is as crazy, vibrant and beautiful city as Porto. And this is the first great thing about Rita & João's place : it is located in the PERFECT area. A beautiful, charming, typical street, at the very border of the historical center, but yet away from the touristic craze. There are old shops, cool cafés, and this incredible view over the garden of the Virtudes.

The apartment was beautiful, bathed with sun in the morning in the kitchen, and in the evening in the living room. Rita and João have been the kindest of hosts, showing us the great place to go, helping us with our luggage, and being super patient with our two kids.

The only thing that you have to know is that the 3rd floor apartment are in fact two apartments. You rent the whole floor, which is great, except that the living room has no water. But it's a very very very small annoyance compared to all those great points.

We recommend them fully.
