I thoroughly recommend a stay at Liliana and Luis's excellent flat in Porto. Liliana met us and explained how the house works, and Luis came on the phone to check in perfect English whether we had any further questions. We had been concerned about parking, but we always found a spot, usually right outside the door. The flat has lovely views over the river and there is everything the traveller could need. After staying in some lovely but tiny accommodation in Spain and Portugal, it was a relief to be able to spread out (we were three adults). We particularly appreciated the washing machine and choice of drier and external racks. All main rooms had views and natural light. There are shops and cafes within 5 minutes' walk. A rare find! Thanks Luis and Liliana.
