When I booked this house I was reasonably sure that I was on to a good thing. The warmth of greeting when we arrived confirmed this. I don't think I have felt more welcome anywhere.
The house is in a great spot. The old part of Foz is a hilly delight with a maze of streets which seem to go off in more directions than possible. If you get lost just go down hill and sooner or later you will arrive at the river or the sea - and both of these are good places to be. There are plenty of shops and restaurants in walking distance and buses into Porto are just at the bottom of the hill. Parking can be 'interesting' but we failed only once to park just down from the house and on that occasion were able to move to a nearer spot after a couple of hours.
The house has everything necessary for a comfortable stay. We shopped in Foz market and the nearby Pingo Doce supermarket. The kitchen had what we needed and we ate there or in the outside space on warmer evenings.
As a base for exploring by bicycle this was ideal. I will admit to having brought our own electric bikes but these just served to flatten some of the hills. I particularly recommend taking bikes on the ferry to Afurada for a great bike ride down the coast.
Altogether a lovely place to stay with a terrific welcome.
